Thu 6 Aug, 7:30 pm. Lawrence Kasdan is a screenwriter/director whose own career could be the subject of a Hollywood movie. As an ad writer without a screenwriting credit to his name, he was tapped by George Lucas to write The Empire Strikes Back, and went on to give eager audiences Raiders of the Lost Ark, among many other hits. He began to direct his own work, beginning with Body Heat, and going on (to name a few) to The Accidental Tourist, Grand Canyon, Silverado, and perhaps most famously, the iconic classic The Big Chill. Over the years, Kasdan has been nominated for 4 Oscars and won numerous other prestigious awards.

Sun 9 Aug, 7:30 pm. Introduced by Nysselle Clark of The Boston Jewish Film Festival. After 5767 years, is Israel ready for baseball? Bostonian Larry Baras thinks so, certain that if he builds it, they will come. Documenting the formation of Israel¹s first professional baseball league from tryouts to the selection of 120 hardball hopefuls to the scheduled first game in June 2007, the film is marvelously entertaining from the first pitch through the bottom of the ninth. Features a number of figures well-known to Red Sox Nation, including Dan Duquette, the league¹s director of baseball operations and former Red Sox GM and Kevin Youkilis, one of the few Jewish major league players.
