Israeli Settlers as Kitsch

Modern Orthodox Jews from Long Island tour a West Bank settlement.

Join Buddha-killer Kiera Feldman for a video screening at Brooklyn’s Union Docs on Sunday, January 27th at 7:30pm. It’s a two-part affair: Part I: Kiera presents a curated selection of Youtube ephemera produced by homegrown settlers—suburbanite American Jews who have moved to the Israeli settlements. See her accompanying story in VICE magazine, “Living the American Dream in the West Bank.” Part II: Critic Tom McCormack introduces a screening of Israeli video artist Guy Ben-Ner’s “Stealing Beauty,” a Marxist family sitcom about property, the family, and revolution–set in an Ikea. The screening will be followed by a Q&A. RSVP on Facebook.
