We are pleased to invite you to a film-screening of Oh, My Great Yiddish! – Oy-Vey-Tsores – by German/Hungarian filmmaker Marian Kiss with her daughter Julia Sara Baudier on October 17th, 6:00 pm at postane Istanbul.
The film deals with identity, roots and rootlessness. Conflicts between strong mothers and daughters, it is about humour and anarchism, about loving life and joy about dramas that life tries to interpose.
Four generations of Jewish women in Europe in the 20th and 21st centuries: In her entertaining, strikingly concise portrayal of a family, director Marian Kiss also addresses current, frightening nationalist tendencies.
Oh, My Great Yiddish! It is a journey, bringing back the ashes of the grandmother of Marian Kiss from Budapest to Berlin.
Four women from four generations, a family story spanning a hundred years. A journey that begins in 1914 and, historically, brings the women entirely different fates, yet they traverse them with the same mentality, passion, and anarchy – between Germany and Hungary, upper middle class and impoverishment, Orthodox Judaism and Catholicism, socialist reality and its dissolution.
After the screening, we will have a talk with Marian Kiss and her daughter Julia Sara Baudier about the movie and their experiences of identity and migration.
If you are outside of Istanbul, you can follow the screening and the discussion online in a livestream:
