Fiddler on the Roof

(Norman Jewison, US 1971, 181 min., 35mm)

L’Chaim: Celebrating Jewish Life. The iconic Broadway musical is translated beautifully to film, breathing fresh life into the songs, dances, and story of tradition, love, and perseverance. Jewish peasant Tevye (Topol) is torn between tradition and love when his three oldest daughters defy the matchmaker and choose their own husbands—all while the family contends with growing anti-Semitism in the community surrounding their Ukrainian shtetl. We will screen director Norman Jewison’s own print, on deposit at the Eastman Museum.

Admission is FREE to this screening.
