Event Description
MY FAVORITE NEOCONSERVATIVE/ALEX'S LETTERS

Dir. Yael Luttwak
(My Favorite Neoconservative: 39min, USA, 2014)
(Alex’s Letters, a work-in-progress, 25min, USA, 2015)
Documentary
East Coast Premiere


My Favorite Neoconservative offers personal entré into the surreal power circles of Washington, DC. The filmmaker’s eccentric father, Edward Luttwak, is a prominent conservative–and architect of the air campaign of the first Iraq war– who makes his living as a military strategist. Raised in a house still overrun by her father's associates, many of whom still reside in one-square mile of the Chevy Chase suburb where she grew up, Yael Luttwak watched Paul Wolfowitz, Michael Ledeen and Richard Perle walk the halls of her childhood home. With unique access, the film reveals the personalities behind the headlines and tells a father-daughter story with a sardonic political twist.

Preceded by a work-in-progress screening of Yael Luttwak’s Alex’s Letters, based on the book Alex: Building a Life, the story of Alex Singer, a 25 year old American who died while serving in the Israel Defense Forces.
