What: Searching For Baghdad: A Daughter's Journey-film and presentation by filmmakers
When: Thursday, April 15, 2004, 7:00pm Where: DCJCC-16th & Q Streets, NW , Washington DC = Members $7.50 / Non-Members $9 ($1 student/senior discount) Searching for Baghdad is the story of Carole Basri's journey to find the remnants of her Iraqi-Jewish heritage. Afraid to visit her homeland but desperate to trace her roots, Basri traces the lives of Iraqi Jews who ventured out of Baghdad in the 19th century looking for a better life. She whisks us off to a quartet of Asian countries - India, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Myanmar - to visit the centerpiece of each community, its synagogue, where we meet an eclectic mix of characters committed to sustaining the Iraqi-Jewish culture. After the screening, filmmakers Carole Basri and Adriana Davis will answer questions and share excerpts from their post-Saddam-era work-in-progress "The Last Jews of Baghdad: End of an Exile; Beginning of a Journey." Discussion will be followed by a curator-led gallery tour of the "Homelands" exhibition. jessika cirkus gallery coordinator/literary programs coordinator 202.777.3208 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the AJL =========================================================== Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org
