Borscht Belt Film Fest | From the Bronx to the Borscht Belt: An Intimate Conversation with Judd Hirsch

Join a lively discussion with Judd Hirsch, a longtime Catskills resident and award-winning actor whose performances in Taxi, Ordinary People, Independence Day and dozens of other films and television shows have made him one of the most recognizable and beloved actors in America. Hirsch will be joined by Jodi Rudoren, editor-in-chief of the Forward, as they review performances both iconic and overlooked, all the while considering Hollywood's complicated approach to the portrayal of Jews in post-war America. This live event is part of the Borscht Belt Film Fest and takes place at the Shadowland Stages in Ellenville, NY.
