Film Screening: It Happened in Havana: A Yiddish Love Story Produced and Directed by Judy Schiller

About This Show

He didn’t speak Spanish. She didn’t speak English. After 61 years of marriage, he is still on his honeymoon. In Forest Hills, Queens, a couple sits on their living room couch as the husband and wife each recount how they met in Cuba during the start of WWII.

In her cinematic debut, filmmaker Judy Schiller takes the viewer on two journeys: her mother’s, from Poland to Cuba, where she and her family were the only Jews in their town; and her father’s beginning on New York’s Lower East Side, where the street was the playground
