Film
The JCC’s film salon showcases unique, hard-to-find features, ranging from US premieres to restorations of Yiddish film classics. All selections explore and illuminate Jewish identity, and are shown on the JCC’s big screen.
Each presentation is followed by a moderated discussion (see below for speaker information). |
Lifeline
An avid technophobe. A fancy pink cell phone. Love at first dial.
 The comedy Lifeline follows Eve, a superlative social worker whose love and zeal for connecting people is equally matched with a hatred and dread of technology, especially cell phones. However, she soon faces the moral dilemma that human connections and cell phones are not mutually exclusive. When best friendJenny gifts her a bright, pink, uber-adorable, eerily human cell phone named Muffy, Eve reluctantly accepts. Faster than you can say “Text me,” Eve falls under Muffy’s enchanting spell, abandoning her friends and loved ones for the dark, solitary, tantalizing technological underworld. Will Eve come to her senses, regain her humanity, and try to salvage her relationships? Or will she continue in her addictive downward spiral, brainwashed by the evil forces of modern technology?
Special Advance Screening followed by a question & answer period with writer, producer, director, and star Karuna Tanahashi.
