Centered: Joe Lieberman - 7pm

Directed by Jonathan Gruber

Centered brings to life the remarkable journey of Joe Lieberman, the late Senator who made history as the first Jewish Vice Presidential candidate—and nearly changed the course of American politics. Ever a trailblazer, Lieberman was known for his humor, his independence, and for prioritizing what he believed to be right — sometimes earning the ire of his longtime colleagues. In an era where the political divide seems wider than ever, Lieberman’s story is more urgent and relevant every day. The film explores his life and career in ways that challenge us to think about the future of democracy and how we can find ways to work together, no matter our differences.

The Glory of Life - 2pm

Directed by Judith Kaufmann & Georg Mass

Because of the power of love, the last year of Franz Kafka's life becomes his happiest. He has never been able to allow himself to experience intimacy, he suffers from tuberculosis and is dependent on his overbearing family. But the worldly-wise Dora Diamant accepts him as he is. And he accepts her. The two meet in 1923 on the Baltic Sea coast, where he is convalescing, and she is working in a Jewish Volksheim. Together they go to Berlin and, when Franz's health deteriorates rapidly, to a sanatorium in Austria. Barely a year after they meet, he dies. The memory of their time together will shape Dora for the rest of her life.
