FILM MOSAIC RETURNS
After a 3-year absence from your screens, FILM MOSAIC returns to its new home on Stanmore Hill.
For those of you who are new to FILM MOSAIC, it was an idea that started over 10 years ago at our old home in Bessborough Road. I have always love films and was amazed at the sheer number and variations of movies, old and new, that had, in one way or another, a Jewish connection. So, I started showing any manner of movies at Bessborough Road, which were already in my collection, or I could acquire.
They ranged from, Documentaries like “Imaginary Witness” and “Paper Clips”, to Comedies like “Mel Brooks – To be or Not to be”, to Dramas like “Gentlemens Agreement” and “To Kill a Mockingbird”. They included foreign films like the Israeli Sumo movie “Size Matters” and “Ushpizim”. Any movie that has a Jewish connection is up for consideration, as long as the foreign ones had subtitles!
The idea is that anyone who is interested, can come along, meet other like-minded fans, discuss the movie, and even have a biscuit or two with a drink.
There is no entrance fee, but if anyone, enjoys the film and cares to make a donation afterwards (no matter the size), to our nominated charity, then that is appreciated. Up until we stopped because of the Pandemic, we raised about £3,000 for various causes.
FILM MOSAIC will be held mid-monthly, on Mondays, from May onwards. I will be showing some new movies as well re-showing some of the golden oldies first shown a few years ago.
Details of forthcoming attractions can be found below.

After the end of the Second World War we meet Harry (Hertzko) Haft (Ben Foster), a Polish Jewish boxer and Concentration Camp survivor, now living in the USA. He had to fight against his peers in concentration camps in order to survive. Haunted by memories (shown in vivid flashback), he tries using his status as a “PRO” to fight Rocky Marciano in the hope that his publicity will help him reunite with his old girlfriend, “still missing” years after being sent to a camp. Barry Levinson, who also directed AVALON, is responsible for the little seen SURVIVOR. This is a true story. It is a realistic, ...

It is 1850. A young Polish Rabbi (Gene Wilder) needs to travel across the country to lead a Jewish Congregation in San Francisco. En Route he meets up with a bank robber (Harrison Ford) and they form an unlikely friendship. On their travels, they are involved in numerous (often hilarious) adventures. This movie combines elements of the best westerns and funniest comedies and is directed with tongue firmly in cheek by the late great Robert Altman (best known for his action westerns).
Come along on a warm July evening, sit back and enjoy……. The FRISCO KID
