| Description |
 13TH ANNUAL SEATTLE JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL 2008
SWEET MUD (Adama Meshuga'at)
Cinerama: Saturday, April 5, 9:30 PM
Director Dror shaul invited
(Israel, 2006, 100 min, English/French/Hebrew)
Topics: Coming-of-Age/Bar Mitzvah/Israel/Kibbutz Life, Family/Mental Health
It is 1974. On a kibbutz (collective farming community) in southern Israel, a 12-year-old boy enters a troubled Bar Mitzvah year. His father is dead, his brother is in the army and his mother Miri (the exquisite Ronit Yudkevitch) is emotionally fragile. When her much-rumored boyfriend arrives from Switzerland, things begin to look up for their makeshift family. Before long, a series of earthshaking conflicts will test their kibbutz community. Sweet Mud peels back the romantic mythology surrounding communal life on the utopic Israeli kibbutz to tell a more personal, poignant story of thwarted love, adolescent awakening and human longings and failings. It is a deeply felt and beautifully photographed drama, worthy of all the acclaim it has received, both within Israel and abroad.
Winner of the Sundance 2007 Dramatic World Cinema Jury Award, the Berlinale 2007 Crystal Bear for Best Feature Film, and the Israeli Academy Best Film Award 2006.
Community Partner: Jewish Studies Program at the Henry M. Jackson School for International Studies at University of Washington.
