The Kuwait Film Festival ended off Wednesday night with a showing of a documentary about Orthodox Jews in New York City.

The film, named "Mitzvot," is described as "part experimental documentary, part ethnographic film; a study of the Hasidic aesthetic in New York City. A chronicle of the day leading to Sabbath in three distinct neighborhoods: Borough Park, Crown Heights, and Williamsburg."

Its brief trailer does not show much.



The film has won awards.

The filmmaker, Bader AlAwadhi, is from Kuwait originally but now lives in New York. He took filmmaking school in California.

He now works for the Jewish Museum in New York as a marketing coordinator.

I have no idea of the point of view of the film, but it does not appear to be antisemitic - and if that is true, its screening in Kuwait is significant.






We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
