Set in 1890s New York City, Hester Street follows Jewish immigrant Jake, whose assimilated American life is disrupted when his wife arrives from Europe. Joan Micklin Silver’s acclaimed black-and-white debut returns in a stunning new 4K restoration, featuring Carol Kane’s Oscar®-nominated performance.

This special screening will be followed by a discussion with author and film scholar Dr. Julia Wagner, whose work explores Jewish film and cultural history.
