Eleanor of Illinois

New York Jewish Film Festival

Jan. 26, 2020 8:40 pm - 8:45 pm

In this experimental short, Broadway star Judy Kuhn embodies Katharine Hepburn’s Eleanor of Aquitaine from The Lion in Winter, but as a contemporary Jewish mother. The result is an exploration of the emotional, class, and power dynamics of Jewish wealth.
