Can one be a Catholic priest and an observant Jew at the same time? 12 years after he was ordained as a Polish Catholic priest, Romuald Waszkinel discovered that he was born to Jewish parents, and that his name was Jacob Weksler. Torn follows his amazing journey from conducting mass in a church in Poland to life as an observant Jew on a religious kibbutz in Israel. Romuald is torn between two identities, between being Romuald Waszkinel and Jacob Weksler. He is unable to renounce either, and is therefore rejected by both religions and the State of Israel. He is required to choose. Note: This film will begin at 7:30 p.m. FLUCHKES MOVIE 314 June 13 Fluchkes (Yiddish for flabby arms) follows the creative process of the dance performance, "Gila". A group of colorful and energetic 72 to 82 year old women bravely confront the hardships and demands of the art of dance. At the same time, these honest and candid women openly share their personal experiences and feelings on aging. Each one of them presents a unique perspective on the aging process. The film followed the group through a year of rehearsals, moments of hardship, failure and great success. Finally, in front of an approving audience, a truly professionally artistic performance is born. CUMMINGS CENTRE FILM From the darkness of Hitler's Europe to the Catskill mountains, Four Seasons Lodge follows a community of Holocaust survivors who come together each summer to dance, cook, fight and flirt and celebrate their survival. Haunted by the past but driven by an unquenchable passion for living, the group gathers each summer at an idyllic hideaway.Four Seasons Lodge is an inspiring and surprisingly funny documentary that captures what may be the final season for a remarkable band of survivors who have found that dancing, laughter and late-night revelry may be the best revenge. 18 Global Affairs Contact Stefani Novick 514.342.1234 local 7201 NEWS AND VIEWS GLOB 302 An analysis of international and national events of the day. sessions Monday April 23 – June 4 10 – noon 6 $90 THE BROTHERHOOD GLOB 336 The Muslim Brotherhood has been much in the news recently and it may possibly become the ruling party in Egypt.

Join Robert Markow for an afternoon of Vienna’s best music in a lighter vein – a cornucopia of works by Johann Strauss (the ‘Waltz King’), Franz Lehar, Josef Lanner and others. May 9 THE BEST OF BACH MART 316 MUSIC Johann Sebastian Bach is so immediate in his musical expressiveness, so universal in his message, so accessible to us all, that it is fairly safe to say there is something in Bach for everyone. Who among us does not feel transported into another dimension when the first thrilling notes of the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor are sounded or does not feel swept into an exhilarating world of gaiety and exuberance with the Second Brandenburg Concerto? Spend 2 hours in Bach’s presence listening to his wonderful music with commentary by Robert Markow. May 16 OPERATIC VILLAINS MART 317 There are operatic characters we just love to hate – those utterly despicable men and women who bring tragedy and misery to good people: Scarpia in Puccini’s Tosca, Iago in Verdi’s Otello, Pizarro in Beethoven’s Fidelio, Pinkerton in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly and the Duke in Verdi’s Rigoletto, among others. Listen to a selection of these evil characters singing and choose which one you hate the most! June 6 MUSIC FOR THE MOVIES MART 318 Even in the era of the “silent” films there was music to accompany action on the screen usually provided by a talented pianist playing improv. Nowadays “movie music” is an art form in itself. Many of the twentieth century’s greatest composers wrote film scores, including Aaron Copland, Dmitri Shostakovich, Serge Prokofiev, Leonard Bernstein and Ralph Vaughan Williams. Listen to and watch examples of their work, along with those of legendary Hollywood composers like Miklos Rozsa, Wolfgang Korngold and John Williams June 13 MUSIC FROM AROUND THE WORLD MART 319 Travel around the world on a most unusual musical journey to the sound of music from such exotic places as India, Thailand, Japan, Taiwan and Australia, along with some more familiar places like Finland, Norway, Greece and Argentina. Examples of these countries’ traditional music and of music in the western classical style will turn up on this musical adventure. Robert Markow’s musical career began as a horn player with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra (MSO). He has taught music appreciation at McGill University and has written program notes for the MSO, the National Arts Centre Orchestra in Ottawa as well as for events at New York’s Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall.

Movies and Munchies THE INFIDEL Meet Mahmud; loving husband, doting father and something of a relaxed Muslim. Maybe he does enjoy the odd sip of alcohol every now and then and perhaps he doesn’t pray five times each and every day or fast for all of Ramadan but in his heart he is as Muslim as it gets. After his mother’s death, a discovery turns Mahmud’s world completely upside down. Among her documents, Mahmud finds his birth certificate which reveals that not only was he adopted at birth but he’s Jewish, and his real name is Solly Shimshillewitz! As Mahmud tumbles headlong into a full tilt identity crisis, the only person he can turn to is Lenny, a local Jewish cab driver who agrees to give him lessons in Jewishness which start with how to dance like Topol and how to speak like a Jew.
