SinaiFree Film Society Discussion of "Seder-Masochism"

02 Apr @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm

The SinaiFree Film Society will Discuss “Seder-Masochism”

This animated film by Nina Paley loosely follows the Passover Seder story, with events from the Book of Exodus retold by Moses, Aaron, the Angel of Death, Jesus and Paley’s father. Paley’s animations are overlaid with an equally creative soundtrack – The Ten Plagues alone are accompanied by 78-rpm blues, hip-hop, punk, 1970s pop rock, Oingo Boingo, and the Beatles. The film puts a twist on the traditional Passover story by including a female deity perspective – the Goddess in a tragic struggle against the forces of patriarchy.

You can watch the film for free through these links on YouTube and The Jewish Film Institute.
