In addition to co-creating A HOME ON THE RANGE, Director Judith Montell
was the producer, director, and co-writer of the Academy Award nominated
documentary "Forever Activists: Stories from the Veterans of the
Abraham Lincoln Brigade." Other projects include: "Pasporto
al la Tuta Mondo," a series of twelve half-hour videos teaching
the language of Esperanto; also in production are "The Political
is Personal: the Story of Saul Wellman," a study of the interaction
between the "old left" and the "new left;" and "The
Key from Spain: Bosnian Sephardim," which looks at the Sephardic
culture and 20th century history of Bosnian Jews through the story and
music of Flory Jagoda, a singer and composer of Ladino songs.
Her previous project, TIMBRELS
AND TORAHS, (co-directed with one of its subjects, Miriam Chaya)
explored a new Jewish ritual, Simchat Hochmah, and played around
the US and Europe to packed houses.
