THE FLAT Nov 30 - Dec 6

A film by Arnon Goldfinger, Documentary, NR, 97 min, in Hebrew, German and English with English subtitles

"One of the best movies of the year. It plays like a great mystery - and it is. This is what a documentary should be smart, moving, profound and unpredictable in other words, what we look for in a great film. The Flat is all of that and more." -Michael Moore

"SUPERB, FASCINATING. Raises questions about truth and memory so provocative that moviegoers are likely to stand in the lobby debating them." -Chuck Wilson

At age 98, director Arnon Goldfinger's grandmother passed away, leaving him the task of clearing out the Tel Aviv flat that she and her husband shared for decades after immigrating from Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Sifting through a mountain of photos, letters, files, and objects, Goldfinger undertook the complex process of making sense of the accumulated ephemera of a lifetime. In the process, he began to uncover clues pointing to a complicated and shocking story: a chronicle of the unexpected yet inevitable ethical ambiguities and repressed emotions that arise when everyday friendships suddenly cross enemy lines.
