Star Face: The Movie. Preview Jewlia Eisenberg's filmmaking class in Oakland, 2002. You asked for a radical Jewish movie and here it is. Edited & filmed by Jill Slater. "Wandering Stars" was a Yiddish short story written by Scholem Aleichem, later turned into a script by Isaac Babel in the 1920's. Jewlia re-imagined the story as a dystopian vision of Oakland. "Starface" is a silent film with an excellent soundtrack culled from radical Jewish sources (no way! yes, it's true!). This is the story of love lost and found, talent nurtured and talent squandered, and the conviction to start a revolution. There is communist propoganda, yiddish butoh and even some dadaist/constructivist special effects. It is sure to amuse.
