Provincetown Film Art Series: Hester Street
The Provincetown Film Art Series, now in its 18th year, is sponsored by the Provincetown Film Society (PFS) and Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM) and curated and hosted by film scholar Howard Karren. Films in the series, both recent and vintage, are chosen around central themes, but the focus is on films about artists and creativity, and films that are themselves works of art.
Hester Street (1975)
Written and directed by Joan Micklin Silver, based on a novella by Abraham Cahan. With Carol Kane and Stephen Keats. In Yiddish and English, subtitled. B&W. 1 hour, 30 minutes.
Joan Micklin Silver’s feature debut is a low-budget gem: the story of a Russian Jewish immigrant (Carol Kane), who comes to New York with a young son only to find that she’s no longer compatible with her Americanized husband, who scorns her Old World ways.
