'Best yet'

By Sean Lennon

MELBOURNE — "The 1994 Festival of Jewish Cinema has surpassed any previous festival of which I was director", is how festival director Les Rabinowicz describes the program and roster of overseas guests for this year's fifth anniversary event.

International guests include Jean-Jacques Zillerman from Paris. His comedy, Not everyone is lucky enough to have had communist parents, will open the festival. Other guests include Claude Lanzmann also from Paris, whose documentary Tsahal will be a major highlight.

Other features of this year's festival include a fifth anniversary retrospective of some of the best films screened at past festivals, and screenings of two recently restored Yiddish film classics by Hollywood director Edgar G. Ulmer.
