A Kaddish for Bernie Madoff – Live Screening with Q&A Start Date: Saturday 7/24/2021 — End Date: Saturday 7/24/2021 Admission:$15 The San Francisco Jewish Film Festival is proud to present a live screening of “A Kaddish for Bernie Madoff” on July 24th at 5:00pm. Held at The Castro Theatre, the screening will include a live Q&A with the filmmakers. A hybrid of memoir and narrative fantasy, the film is a mystical meta-musical about the greatest financial fraud in history, as seen through the eyes of musician/poet Alicia Jo Rabins. It is the story of Bernie Madoff and the system that allowed him to function for decades. This critically acclaimed musical narrative is brought from stage to screen, and from past to present – maintaining the original narrative while also drawing a thread between the massively destabilizing global financial crash of 2008, and our current era of profound ethical and moral uncertainty.
