Subscribe: http://bit.ly/3b8JTym "We've met before, haven't we?” The mysterious nature of identity is the subject of this surreal psychological thriller filled with desperate men, faithless women, expensive cars and cheap motels. Radical when it was originally released, even for a David Lynch film, Lost Highway is not only about the human psyche, it actually seems to take place inside the psyche. It is gripped right through the shattering, unforgettable ending.

Director: David Lynch
Cast: Bill Pullman, Patricia Arquette, Balthazar Getty

ROSENWALD Filmmaker Aviva Kempner in the Forward: “To me, Julius Rosenwald is the best antidote to Donald Trump.”

August 19, 2015 by Lamb L.

Aviva Kempner’s Rosenwald, which we open at the Royal, Playhouse and Town Center on August 28th and the Claremont on September 5th, is the incredible story of Julius Rosenwald, who never finished high school but rose to become the president of Sears. Influenced by the writings of the educator Booker T. Washington, this Jewish philanthropist joined forces with African American communities during the Jim Crow South to build over 5,300 schools during the early part of the 20th century. The film sheds light on this silent partner of the pre-Civil Rights Movement. Rosenwald awarded fellowship grants to a who’s who of African American intellectuals and artists including: Marian Anderson, James Baldwin, the father and uncle of civil rights leader Julian Bond, Ralph Bunche, W. E. B. DuBois, Katherine Dunham, Ralph Ellison, Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Gordon Parks, Jacob Lawrence and Augusta Savage along with Woody Guthrie. Inspired by the Jewish ideals of tzedakah (charity) and tikkunolam (repairing the world) and a deep concern over racial inequality in America, Julius Rosenwald used his wealth to become one of America’s most effective philanthropists. Because of his modesty, Rosenwald’s philanthropy and social activism are not well known today. He gave away $62 million in his lifetime.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqcMisvNASg

In a Forward article titled “Is Julius Rosenwald Our Greatest Philanthropist,?” Ms. Kempner (The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg, Yoo-Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg) recently spoke about his latest film, saying “to me, Julius Rosenwald is the best antidote to Donald Trump. You see how pompous rich people can be, but Rosenwald is quite the contrary; he is one of the greatest examples for American Jews of tzedakah, tikkun olam , and repairing the world without fanfare — doing it just because he wants to make a difference.”

I would hope this film would have wide release because this generation and perhaps past generations of African Americans have no knowledge of the involvement of American Jews in their civil rights struggle.
