OPENING NIGHT FILM


The Infidel
PITTSBURGH PREMIERE
2010, United Kingdom, 105 minutes, English
 
THURSDAY, MARCH 24 AT 7PM
SouthSide Works Cinema

Mahmud Nasir, a nice Muslim family guy, discovers he’s adopted when his mother dies. Adopted, okay, but the son of Jewish parents? Hilarity ensues when Mahmud tries to explore his Jewish roots. A sarcastic Jewish taxi driver serves as his guide into the Jewish world of matzo ball soup, dancing the hora and the proper way to say “Oy!” But will his Muslim family accept his new identity? This outrageous satire pokes fun at the serious subject of Muslim-Jewish relations with surprisingly satisfying results. (Adult Language)

A reception will follow the film with light hors d’oeuvres, dessert and live music featuring Ishtar Mediterranean Dance Band. Dietary laws observed.
