This Canadian film classic, set in the 1920’s Jewish immigrant community of Montreal, is seen primarily through the eyes of David, the grandson. David lives with his Canadian born parents, his grandfather Zaida, a junk peddler who emigrated from Russia and Zaida’s aging horse, Ferdeleh. Zaida answers all of David’s questions about the world in terms of the Creator and the miracles that he performs. But this winter there are no miracles to spare David the pain of growing up.
Shown with: GRANDPA LOOKED LIKE WILLIAM POWELL
Directed by: David Levy; US. ,2010, English, 4 min.
According to the film maker David Levy: “It’s strange to have an intimate artifact from someone you didn’t really know and weren’t that close to. Such a thing happened to me when I came to possess my Grandpa Herman’s high school year autograph book from 1924.”
