Sandi DuBowski’s epic documentary Sabbath Queen—shot over the span of twenty-one years—follows Amichai Lau-Lavie, an Israeli descended from an unbroken line of thirty-eight rabbis stretching back a thousand years. Yet as Sabbath Queen opens, Lau-Lavie is newly arrived in New York in the late 1990s, a young gay man declaring “Artists are the new rabbis” and appearing around the city in drag as Rebbetzin Hadassah Gross, the widow of six Hasidic rabbis (all from the same extended family).
As the years pass, Lau-Lavie embraces a range of creative spiritual endeavors, including Storahtelling and Lab/Shul—until he shocks everyone with his decision to become a rabbi himself, studying in the Conservative tradition of Judaism. Sabbath Queen is witness to Lau-Lavie’s unfailing courage and grace, as he grapples with key questions of who we are and who we will be. Stimulating and moving, DuBowski’s film ends with Lau-Lavie’s words on Israel and Palestine post-October 7th as he evokes the challenge of our lifetime: “How do we re-imagine our sacred traditions to achieve peace?”

This flick is so impatient to get to the beatings that before the opening credits have even ended it’s launched into a scene that would be the climax of most American action movies. Hong Kong turned out dozens of Girls with Guns flicks in its heyday, but this one somehow flew under the radar, probably because it was marketed as a sequel to a movie it has nothing to do with. Three of Hong Kong’s most lethal ladies headline a skullbuster that’s straight outta the ‘90s, full of bad pants, bad hair, and fights, fights, FIGHTS! These three women eat shotgun shells for breakfast, make questionable fashion choices, and feed suckers the bottom of their sneakers for snacks. Does it matter that it’s dubbed into English? No! That just makes everything more fun! Sit down, buckle your seatbelt, and shut up. Third wave feminism is going to punch you in the face now.

The dog-days of August are upon us… Time to shed those warming layers – tear the sweat-soaked raiment of societal structuralism away – freed to take chase with The Deuce in hot hunt of… THE NAKED PREY!.. “Audience” and “film” finally fused – stripped bare… surrendered… together sentient in a Sun-flooded fever of image! Sound! Movement! Emotion!.. STEAMY!!
With a minimum of “set-up”: obnoxious privilegeds on a paid-for South African safari stupidly disregard their guide’s guidance and get met with more than a mouthful of malice from those whose land they’re looting… leaving said guide the last man standing – or rather running – for his life… as The Naked Prey!!
Mid-latish career for the handsomely hunkish one-time swash-buckling “Matinee Idol” Wilde – here doing double-duty before and behind the camera… One of a handful of highly idiosyncratic, generally down-beat directorial efforts.. this for which he somewhat re-invents not only himself – here bearded haggard scraggly gaunt and sinewy – but also as well the idea of what a “mainstream” “Hollywood” “Action-Adventure” movie could be made up of: also haggard scraggly gaunt and sinewy (and bearded?? why not!)… Independent from explanations, contextualizations, judgmentals… base and basic… A crucible of brutal sensualism nearing the “experimental” in its lean meanness… Confident in its nearly dialogless universality and fervent digging toward a humanity-wide cry for compassion… with THE NAKED PREY, Wilde forges the basics of movie-making’s beginnings into a gut-stab mold-breaking modernism… A wonder to behold! Behold on tight with The Deuce!!
PREY‘s Paramount Pictures promoted the pic’s New Embassy Theatre premiere with a “nationwide beauty contest” – the “winner” of which to be tiaraed that opening night: “Miss Naked Prey“!??! Preposterous?!!? Perfect!??! Prey-tell – which of you Deucies be brave enough to dare vie for such a title?? Because – believe or not… ’tis indeed… by night’s end – one of YOU (in actual theatrical attendance) will be crowned!!

Called “distasteful” by New York Times critic Mourdant Hall, pre-Code workhorse Mervyn LeRoy’s Three on a Match ranks among the era’s most lascivious and uncompromising women’s pictures.
Grade school pals Mary, Vivian and Ruth’s personalities seemed to have already calcified on the playground, hinting at the shades of womanhood in their respective futures. Shameless flirt Mary (Joan Blondell) ripens into a happy-go-lucky showgirl. Brainy bookworm Ruth (Bette Davis) parlays her studiousness into a secure office job. But it is Vivian (Ann Dvorak), a snobbish beauty with a rich husband, whose life takes the most drastic turn. Reunited during a chance meeting, Vivian can only marvel at her companions’ independence and self-sufficiency. Bored with marriage and motherhood, she soon falls under the sway of a no-good gangster, sending her tumbling into a void of addiction and child neglect.
This collection of nine short films tells the stories of immigrants within the Park Slope community, focusing on both the joys and challenges they have experienced as immigrants coming to America from all over the world.
Third graders at PS 107 interviewed friends, family members, and community members about their experiences immigrating to the U.S. The work began with the broad question: “How can we teach our community about the range of immigrant experiences?.” The students developed their own interview questions and independently conducted their interviews in small groups. Then, students storyboarded short, 3–6-minute documentaries to tell the stories of the immigrants they spoke with.
These short films are a window into some of the experiences of immigrants in our community, as well as the perspectives of two professionals from Make the Road New York, who spoke with the students about their work advocating for immigrants here in New York City.
A portion of the proceeds will go to the organization Make The Road New York (MTRNY), a 501c3 organization, dedicated to building the power of immigrant and working-class communities to achieve dignity and justice. All donations up to $2000 will be matched by a generous PS 107 family. Please click here to make an additional donation.
