With Eric A. Goldman
American cinema offers a valuable insight into the social, political, and cultural realities of Jews in America. In an industry strongly influenced by Jewish filmmakers who decide which films are produced, the complex and evolving nature of the American Jewish condition has had considerable impact on American cinema, and, in particular, on how Jews are reflected on the screen.
Eric Goldman is an adjunct associate professor of Cinema at Yeshiva University and the Jewish Theological Seminary and is author of The American Jewish Story through Cinema.
