Film Screening | The Last Resort
Sun March 30 @ 18:30 - 20:00
In celebration of our exhibition Shtetl in the Sun, please join us for a screening of the documentary The Last Resort (2018) at Cinéma Moderne.
Directed by Dennis Scholl and Kareem Tabsch, The Last Resort highlights the transformation of South Beach, Miami between the 1960s and 1980s. Featuring photographs by Andy Sweet, whose work is also shown in our ongoing exhibition Shtetl in the Sun, this film explores South Beach when it existed as a retirement community, populated largely by working and lower middle class Jewish retirees.
In-film interviews and commentary are provided by Susan Gladstone, Director of the Jewish Museum of Florida, acclaimed filmmaker Kelly Reichardt, among many others.
