SUMMARY:Beth El's Spring Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:BETH EL SPRING FILM FESTIVAL\, DINNER-THEATRE\nJEWISH
 CHARACTERS ON FIELDS OF DREAMS\nRegister at
 bethelnr.org/spring-film\nSprinting from Bronx sandlots of the 1930s to the
 Paris Olympics of 1924 and on to a prestigious prep school in 1950s New
 England\, our thirty-seventh annual film series will present a delightful
 Dinner-Theatre throughout the month of May. Opening night\, May 7th\, will
 feature The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg\, a marvelous portrait of the
 baseball world and American life of the era. The following Thursday
 evening\, May 14th\, we will be treated to the Best Picture Oscar winner\,
 Chariots of Fire\; an exhilarating picture of championship-level track and
 field. School Ties\, the May 28th clean-up hitter\, to mix a metaphor\,
 will take us to the ultra-competitive world of high school football.\nEach
 self-contained session begins with a delicious delicatessen buffet (for
 those willing to switch from the succulent matzos they've been eating). The
 evening continues with a formal introductory lecture\, a complete screening
 of the film\, and highly stimulating mentored group discussion. These are
 the ingredients that have won the Festival a METNY award for Adult
 Programming. Both aficionados of the series and newcomers are warmly
 welcomed and made to feel completely at home.\nGuest lecturer\, Azriel
 Fellner\, will return for his thirtieth year. Riveting speaker\, dynamic
 teacher\, and master of Jewish text\, Rabbi Fellner will once again share
 with us his fascination with contemporary Jewish-American culture and his
 particular love of film. Also lecturing will be the Festival's founding
 chairwoman\, Elaine Katz. Elaine honed her analytic skills far above
 Cayuga's waters as a Cornell National Scholar. She also played a wicked
 first base for the illustrious Camp Tioga Gold Team of 1950. —Elaine
