Great Neck Synagogue Premier of

FOUR SEASONS LODGE

Award winning documentary that follows the lives of holocaust survivors each summer at their beloved bungalow colony as they celebrate their survival.

Two survivors featured in the movie will be on hand to answer questions after the screening.

Brief Synopsis

In an inspiring and startlingly funny documentary,

FOUR SEASONS LODGE follows a group of Holocaust

survivors during what might be their final summer

together at a bungalow colony in the Catskill Mountains.

Directed by New York Times journalist Andrew Jacobs,

with beautiful cinematography by a team of filmmakers

including Albert Maysles, the verite film explores the

power of friendship and the drive to find joy despite

painful memories. It is a counterintuitive Holocaust

documentary: a fusion of ribald humor, stories of

unimaginable loss, the last of the Borscht Belt crooners,

and a family made entirely of friends and lovers. The

characters dance, flirt, and fight as the fate of their

community hangs in the balance.
