- From an early age Yossi Klein received a special education. He was prepared for another Holocaust. So were other children in Boro Park, the largest Orthodox survivor community in America, and this candid portrait of a young Jewish activist coming to terms with his father's traumatic history is as bracing as any fiction. Through his writing and activism, Yossi attempts to carry on the legacy of struggle passed on to him. A portrait emerges of a young man whose world view and personal outlook have been principally shaped by an event that took place before he was born.
- Praying With My Legs: The Radically Amazing Life and Times of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel is a feature-length documentary about the life, thought and transformative impact of the religious thinker and human rights/social justice activist.
- Vinnie, an NYU film student, has just turned 22 and is trying to figure out why he wants to be a filmmaker. To pick up girls? To make a statement? To annoy his parents? To avoid growing up? What is it he's trying to say? The film takes place in Vinnie's East Village apartment and neighborhood, at his film school, at Central Parks's Alice in Wonderland statue, at an East Side movie theater playing a Marx Brothers retrospective, on a NYC bus, at Vinnie's parents' house on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and in Riverside Park. Winner, First Prize, Baltimore Film Festival, 1974.
