Eva Mattes, who turns 60 today, has been acting on stage and in front of the camera since she was twelve. Internationally, she'll probably always be associated with the New German Cinema. She was still a teenager when she appeared as a Vietnamese rape victim in Michael Verhoeven's o.k. (1970), which caused an uproar at the Berlinale. In 1979, Mattes won a Best Supporting Actress award in Cannes for her performance in Werner Herzog's Woyzeck. She'd previously worked with him on Stroszek (1977). She appeared in several films by Rainer Werner Fassbinder and played him two years after his death in Ein Mann wie Eva. More recently, Mattes has appeared in Frieder Schlaich's Otomo (1999), Jean-Jacques Annaud's Enemy at the Gates (2001) and Percy Adlon's Mahler on the Couch (2010). » - David Hudson...

Mahler on the Couch
Theatrical Hit From Percy & Felix Adlon (Bagdad Cafe) This exuberant imagining of the real-life marriage of Gustav Mahler (Johannes Silberschneider) and his tempestuous wife Alma Schindler Mahler (the luminous Barbara Romaner) is a sensory feast of art, sex and celebrity in fin-de-siècle Vienna. American Jerusalem:Jews and the Making of San Francisco Drawn to California by the Gold Rush, pioneering Jews were welcomed in San Francisco, where Jews played a central role in the transformation of this once-sleepy maritime village into the largest metropolis in the American West.
Being Jewish in France
Film Festival & Theatrical Hit. Yves Jeuland's sweeping two-film documentary explores the rich and complex history of Jews in France--the first country to grant Jews citizenship--has become the definitive documentary on the topic.
2 or 3 Things I Know About Him
Theatrical Hit . Family drama and historical truth collide in this documentary about the legacy cast by Hanns Ludin, a Nazi executed for war crimes in 1947. Ludin's son, Malte Ludin, breaks 60 years of silence, investigating his father's dark deeds.
Einsatzgruppen: The Death Brigades Nazi mobile killing squads, led by highly-educated officers and aided by local collaborators, systematically murdered over a million Jews. Who were the men who carried out mass murder at close range? Includes astounding, never-seen-before film and photographs.
Tel Aviv-Jaffa
Produced in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Tel Aviv, the two-part film explores the rich and complex history of Tel Aviv and Jaffa. A fast-paced, lively film, this popular documentary intercuts a treasure trove of archival film with images of contemporaryTel Aviv-Jaffa.
The Cantor's Son
Restored by Ncjf . This toe-tapping Yiddish musical drama stars Moishe Oysher in the title role J. Hoberman calls the "anti-Jazz Singer." May be the most exhilarating example yet exhumed of the once-thriving, completely global Yiddish cinema." -Boston Phoenix
The Jester
Restored by Ncjf. A charming romance drama produced in Poland, The Jester's lively circus and vaudeville music and set pieces provide a glimpse of Warsaw's then-thriving Yiddish revues and cabarets, which were destroyed soon after.
The Trial of Adolf Eichmann
The 1961 trial of Adolf Eichmann held in Israel and broadcast around the globe, was a benchmark event in the historiography of the Holocaust, especially in Israel where the trial proved a watershed for survivors and the new Jewish state.
Punk Jews
Profiling Hassidic punk rockers, Yiddish street performers, African-American Jewish activists & more, Punk Jews explores a movement of provocateurs and committed Jews who are asking what it means to be Jewish in the 21st century.
Kol Nidre
Ncjf New Digital Restoration. A bissel of this, a bissel of that, Kol Nidre has a little bit of everything, combining family melodrama and romance with popular songs, cantorial music and comic bits in an inventive pastiche of themes and styles.
How to Re-Establish a Vodka Empire
British filmmaker Daniel Edelstyn discovers the vodka distillery opened by his family in 1904 in the Ukraine is still in operation and decides--despite his utter lack of business experience--to become a liquor entrepreneur.
Jewish Soldiers in Blue & Gray
Brother against brother, Jew against Jew, 10,000 Jewish soldiers fought in the American Civil War, on both sides of the battlefield, in numbers proportionally higher than other American groups.
Dear Mr. Waldman
Film Festival Favorite Drama. A coming-of-age story written and directed by the son of survivors, Dear Mr. Waldman beautifully captures the milieu of mid-century Israel and the peculiarities of growing up amid the emotional wreckage of the Holocaust.

Studio Canal Among the Cannes selected items, prestige outfitter Studio Canal has a pair of mention-worthy titles in the five plus hour offering from Oliver Assayas and perhaps this year's Battle of Algiers in Rachid Bouchareb's Outside the Law. Among the films they'll be selling in a non-completed stage are Rowan Joffe's Brighton Rock (see pic of Sam Riley) and Joe Cornish's Attack the Block – both of these should be Venice and/or Tiff bound. - Studio Canal Among the Cannes selected items, prestige outfitter Studio Canal has a pair of mention-worthy titles in the five plus hour offering from Oliver Assayas and perhaps this year's Battle of Algiers in Rachid Bouchareb's Outside the Law.
