TOVAH FELDSHUH recreates 100 years of Jewish history playing 45 different characters (including Ben-Gurion, Moshe Dayan, Holocaust survivors, Israeli soldiers and, of course, GOLDA MEIR herself), in one of the greatest acting performances of the last 50 years—now captured on film for all time, in this brand new motion picture, "GOLDA'S BALCONY, THE FILM"  here in 2019-2020. Never has the whole Jewish century been dramatized with such heart, dazzle, and sheer jaw-dropping artistry, than in this 85-minute movie which has become, perhaps, the 'Cinderella Film' of the

2019-20 Jewish Film Festival season.

​

In this final masterpiece (brilliantly directed by SCOTT SCHWARTZ) by WILLIAM GIBSON, author of "The Miracle Worker," the rise of GOLDA MEIR from Russian schoolgirl to Prime Minister of Israel is one of the most thrilling and amazing stories of the 20th Century. In GOLDA’S BALCONY, THE FILM (2019), her life has been transformed into a cinematic event of overwhelming power and inspirational triumph.

While perhaps ‘a film of a play,’ this new work nevertheless plays like a film. Like the recent high-definition video shoot of Broadway smash HAMILTON, this multi-camera, kinetically-edited version of Golda’s Balcony is likely to be the standard motion picture version of this Golda-bio-drama for years to come. In addition, the film's astonishing winning streak of

TWENTY (21) "AUDIENCE FAVORITE AWARDS" 

at all 21 of its COMPETITIVE FESTIVALS TO DATE

on the 2019-20 Jewish Film Festival circuit suggests that audiences

from Los Angeles to Chicago to Boston to Hong Kong & São Paulo

 all agree: GOLDA'S BALCONY, THE FILM is a "must-see,"  

and an extremely satisfying motion picture experience. (Also, the movie's Official Selection to literally half of the Jewish Film Festivals in the world  in 2019-20 (fully 75 out of the 150 mounted that season) has made it, in the minds of many Festival Directors and Audiences, quite possibly one of the more important Jewish Films of this, or any, time.)

As a play on Broadway and Off, Golda’s Balcony sold out over 500 performances, becoming the longest-running, one-woman show in Broadway history. TOVAH FELDSHUH’s galvanizing, TONY-Award Nominated rendition of Golda has been so dramatically edited and filmically ‘put together’ here, that audiences who may have originally adored the performance from the upper tiers on Broadway may now ‘get up close and personal’ to Tovah’s marvelous work: her face, her expressions... and the subtlety and unprecedented brilliance of her Golda Meir (and the other 44 characters she plays!).

Former HADASSAH PRESIDENT JUNE WALKER perhaps put it best: “Run, don’t walk, to Golda’s Balcony, to spend an emotional hour and a half with one of the great women of history. Jews especially will be touched, but people of all faiths will marvel at this triumph: it is not to be missed!”
