Greener Pastures A charming comedy from Israel. Dov, a widower, is forced by his family to move to a nursing home – and there’s nothing he can do or say about it. When he notices that all his fellow residents smoke legal medical cannabis, he realizes that weed will be his salvation – selling it, not smoking it.

High Maintenance Dani Karavan has created nearly 100 environmental installations across the world and has won some of the most prestigious international art awards. Yet Karavan is far from satisfied. The political climate in his country is driving him mad, as does the director of the documentary being made about him.

Dean Robbins with Thank You, Dr. Salk

Families with children 5-10 years During his St. Louis childhood, Dean Robbins fell in love with Mighty Mouse and Superman, dressing up in superhero costumes and vowing to save the world.

When he finally realized he would never have X-ray vision, he found real-life Jewish heroes who could be his role models, including Jonas Salk, the scientist who conquered polio. Dean introduces Salk and many others with Thank You, Dr. Salk. He also reveals the secrets of how kids can become superheroes themselves.

SFC Sun 2/27 1:00pm Free

Sam Cohen with Sarahland

Adults In Sarahland, Sam Cohen brilliantly and often hilariously explores the ways in which traditional stories have failed us, both demanding and thrillingly providing for its cast of Sarahs new origin stories, new ways to love the planet and those inhabiting it and new possibilities for life itself. In one story, a Jewish college Sarah passively consents to a form-life in pursuit of an MRS degree and is swept into a culture of normalized sexual violence. A Buffy-loving Sarah uses fan fiction to work through romantic obsession. Readers witness as the ever-evolving “Sarah” gets recast: as a bible-era trans woman, an aging lesbian literally growing roots, a being who transcends the earth as we know it. While Cohen presents a world that will clearly someday end, “Sarah” will continue.

He became an international star, but his magnificent achievement would later be offset by his pro-Nazi stance and his bigamy. J. Edgar Hoover built the FBI into one of the most admired law enforcement agencies in the world while secretly increasing and abusing his personal power. Richard Nixon, a true American tragedy, rose to the highest pinnacle of political success only to resign the presidency in disgrace. Follow the rise and fall of these three intriguing and controversial figures and the marks, good and bad, that they made on history.
