SIT YOUR TUCHUS DOWN, a night of cinema like you have never seen before, piloted last year to a sold out crowd. The Jerusalem Foundation of Canada’s New Leader's of Toronto are gearing up for round two. The JFNL is a committee of the Toronto Jerusalem Foundation, consisting of young professionals whose goal is to support the development and beautification of Jerusalem via arts, culture and charitable projects that seek to advance and unite various ethnicities, cultures and communities in the city.
Featured films from last year's event were provided by emerging Israeli film makers of the acclaimed Ma'aleh film school and included the viewing of: Cohen's Wife, House 103 and The Orthodox Way. The Ma'aleh film school, founded in 1981 is dedicated to the exploration of Jewish/Israeli identity; each film highlighted unique compelling perspectives on the many faces of Jerusalem.
This year, co-chairs Michael Shinewald and Diana Fridlyand, on behalf of the JFNL board member’s, have decided to incorporate films by the Sam Spiegel Israeli film school to this year's screening. The Sam Spiegel film school was established in 1989 and selections for SIT YOUR TUCHUS DOWN 2 are being chosen by the schools 10 best shorts as decided by a jury of the top 60 film makers from 17 countries.
