Dir. Asaf Galay (72min, Israel, 2014)
Documentary
East Coast Premiere
Many books, biographies and articles have been written about the life and work of Isaac Bashevis Singer (Nobel Prize winner in Literature, best known for his story Yentl). This film uncovers a previously unknown and eccentric chapter in his life; in the mid 1960's Bashevis Singer established an army of female translators – more than forty women - who helped spread his work. He chose these translators carefully, was inspired by their presence, and often fell in love with them. Nine of the women who were intimately familiar with the man and work are still here, and theirs are the only voices heard in the film.
