Sidney Turtlebaum

Acclaimed BAFTA, EMMY and TONY award-winning actor, Sir Derek Jacobi (OTHELLO, MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, I, CLAUDIUS) will play Sidney in Third Man Films upcoming SIDNEY TURTLEBAUM, which premieres at the West End Gala of UK Jewish Film Festival on November 3.
The bitter sweet comedy tells the story of Sidney, an eccentric gay Jewish man in his eighties. To punish the world Sidney earns his living as a pickpocket and a con-man. When Sidney meets 26 year old Gabriel, he cannot resist the opportunity to show off his skills to his new young friend.
Set in the heart of Londons Jewish Community, Golders Green, the short film also features rising star Rupert Evans (HELLBOY, THE PALACE) and is directed by Tristram Shapeero, BAFTA nominated Director of the GREEN WING, PEEP SHOW and PULLING.
