41st Buffalo International Jewish Film Festival
Jewish Community Center – Maxine and Robert Seller Theater 2640 North Forest Road, Getzville, NY, United StatesFollowing the screening of Hora by Avi Weissblei, please join us for a reception with treats, and a dance instructor will lead us in learning the Hora. Hora Director: Avi Weissblei Israel 2025, 60 mins, Hebrew with English subtitles One hundred years after the creation of the local Hora dance, we go back to the great dream that began then and continues to this day. It is a legend that tells the story of the folk dance movement's formation, told through the voices of those who were once stars of this world. They reveal the women who brought with them styles, movements, and a variety of ethnic dances that helped shape the concept of culture—East and West—transforming into a center through the dance circles. But today, in the struggle for reality and the future, will folk dancing remain, or will it become merely a relic of the past? Ticket Cost: $18 CLICK HERE TO REGISTER
