The 2024 White Mountain Jewish Film Festival, focused this year on Jewish comedy, comes to a close on Thursday, September 5, with The Producers, a 1967 American satirical cult classic movie written and directed by Mel Brooks. It tells the story of a theatrical producer and an accountant who concoct a scam to produce a Broadway musical that is guaranteed to fail. They take more money from investors than they need and plan to abscond to Brazil when the play closes after opening night–but the show turns out to be a hit.
Our guest speaker, Rick Winston, was the co-owner of Montpelier’s Savoy Theater for 29 years. He has taught film history at Burlington College, Community College of Vermont, Goddard College, and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.
As always, your ticket includes our festival’s famous patio parties beginning at 6PM with complimentary refreshments and an assortment of beverages. At 6:30PM the evening's guest speaker will introduce the film and then stay for a Q&A as the houselights go on at the end of each film. Movie Time – All Films: Box office opens: 5:30PM/ Patio opens: 6:00PM/ Guest Speaker: 6:30PM/ Film: 7:00PM.
