The Philadelphia Jewish Film Festival is hosting the Philadelphia Premiere of SHOSHANA, an Official Selection in the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival.
Harry Melling (Harry Potter, The Queen’s Gambit), Irina Starshenbaum, and Douglas Booth (My Salinger Year, Loving Vincent) star in a troubled love story set against the British Mandate just before the founding of the state of Israel. Prolific writer-director Michael Winterbottom’s (The Trip series) passion project, 15 years in the making and based on real people and events, tells the story of a cross-cultural relationship between a ranking member of the British Palestine Police Force and a young Jewish woman. Winterbottom’s romantic drama explores the way extremism and violence push people apart, forcing them to choose sides.
Co-Presented by Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History. Tickets to the screening can ONLY be purchased online. Tickets can not be purchased in person at our theater.
