The Klezmatics: On Holy Ground - 30th San Francisco Jewish Film Festival

Defying categorization, the geniuses of world music/klezmer fusion known as the Klezmatics have been breaking ground by continually redefining Jewish music for more than 20 years. Now they get their own movie: part concert film, part backstage drama, part affectionate lesson in remixing Yiddish culture, klezmer, gospel and Woody Guthrie. Their infectious concerts and on-camera candor make for a rousing behind-the-scenes documentary covering four up-and-down years in the life of the band. Join members of the band and the director for a festive Closing Night celebration at the Castro Theatre; Berkeley Opening Night features a post-film reception in the Roda courtyard.
