Ergo chooses films and DVDs for distribution based on the
quality and prestige of the material, their authenticity and their
marketability. The Israel Collection includes many of the great classics
of Israeli cinema like HILL 24 DOESN'T ANSWER (1955), SALLAH (1965) and THE SUMMER OF AVIYA
(1989), along with many contemporary feature films, documentaries, short
features and student films. The Ergo Yiddish Library features films about
Yiddish culture, children's films and many of the great Yiddish language
films made in the United States and Poland before World War II, like YIDL
MITN FIDL (1936) and TEVYE DER MILKHIKER (Tevye the Dairyman, 1939), on
which "Fiddler on the Roof" was based. We also carry other film
classics on DVD like Dan Petrie's THE ASSISTANT (1998), based on Bernard
Malamud's novel and Jan Kadar's Canadian classic
LIES MY FATHER TOLD ME (1975), taken from the Ted Allan short story and
newly restored. Rounding out Ergo's holdings are DVDs on Jewish
holidays, tradition, identity, history and culture.
