Donald M. Ephraim Film Festival: Dreaming of A Jewish Christmas

Description

Set entirely in a Chinese restaurant, this is an offbeat, irreverent musical documentary that tells the story of a group of Jewish songwriters, including Irving Berlin, Mel Torme, Jay Livingston, Ray Evans, Gloria Shayne Baker and Johnny Marks, who wrote the soundtrack to Christianity�s most musical holiday. It's an amazing tale of immigrant outsiders who became irreplaceable players in pop culture�s mainstream - a generation of songwriters - who found in Christmas - the perfect holiday in which to imagine a better world, and for at least one day a year, make us believe in it.
