In partnership with Gillian Laub’s “Family Matters” exhibit, Silver Screens Studios (created by Tiffany Woolf) and Reboot presented “It’s All Relative: A Family Matters Reflection and Response Space” in The Contemporary Jewish Museum during the early months of 2023. We invited attendees to record responses to two prompts inspired by “Family Matters,” to reflect on family – biological or chosen – and how our connections with loved ones influence our lives. 

In this new short film about the collaboration, we go behind the scenes with the project creators and producers to learn more about the layers of impact created by empowering great artists to work together. Learn more and watch.

We’ve Been Here Before: What the Punk Scene Can Teach Us About White Supremacy produced with Reboot Studios, is a deep dive into the punk subculture that fought back against White Nationalists and neo-Nazis, and the lessons they have to share with those fighting for an inclusive democracy today. This short documentary connects the dots between mass shootings, antisemitism, and the rise of hate violence in America by following Eric Ward, an expert on the relationship between authoritarian movements and hate violence who first encountered these forces as an anti-racist skinhead in the punk rock subculture.

Join us for a conversation with Ward, filmmaker Jacob Kornbluth, anti-hate skinhead Dion Garcia, musician Karina Deniké, and punk and sound effects artist Ronni Brown for a personal and strategic discussion about the role of subcultures in the larger struggle against hate, moderated by journalist and professor Mark Danner. Reception with food and drinks to follow, featuring local vinyl DJs spinning vintage punk, soul, and reggae. More details and tickets can be found here.

Just the Tip

TRAILER NOW SHOWING! As a female filmmaker, the topic of male circumcision is not something Jessie Kahnweiler ever thought she’d be interested in, and as a Jew, she just assumed she would circumcise her child if she had a boy. But then she fell in love with a goy (a guy who is not Jewish) and the issue came up. Circumcision of male babies in a ritual called a Bris is an important tradition for many Jews who see it as a connection to past generations. But, Kahnweiler’s boyfriend did not see it as a foregone conclusion that they would do it. 

That’s the issue at the heart of Just The Tip, the new provocative comedy from Reboot Studios and comedian Jessie Kahnweiler that takes on the controversial topic. Learn more about Just The Tip here.
