PITTSFIELD, Mass. – The Berkshire Jewish Film Festival, noting its 40th season, will run this year for six consecutive Mondays, from July 6 to Aug.10.

The first week. Monday, July 6, will feature at 3:30 p.m. “Our Neighbour’s Ass.” which tells the tale of Ida who inherits her late husband’s beloved donkey Pablo and she inherits his chaos too. From pre-dawn braying to eaten shrubbery, Pablo has made himself the most infamous resident in the neighborhood. The movie “Rosenthal The Great Showman” follows. In 1978 West Germany, Hans Rosenthal is the nation’s most beloved TV host, adored by millions. But he carries a secret. When a celebration of the anniversary of his blockbuster game show is scheduled for November 9th, the 40th anniversary of Kristallnacht, he is expected to entertain millions rather than attend Germany’s first official memorial. This biographical drama depicts Rosenthal’s reckoning with his buried past.

At 7:30 p.m. “The Stage Is Ours” will showcase nearly 50 of Broadway’s Jewish voices at the Lyceum Theatre to reflect on what it means to tell Jewish stories on stage.
