Our two very special Virtual Shabbat Lounge events included multiple guests whose projects premiered at this year's Sundance Festival and Slamdance Festival, respectively. Since their Festival premieres, some of our speakers' film's have been featured in multiple publications, including the New York Times and RobertEbert.com.
Thank you to our guests who joined us on the Zoom stage Saturday Night:
Craig Emanuel (Paul Hastings LLP)
Sara Bernstein (Imagine Documentaries; DOWNFALL: THE CASE AGAINST BOEING + LUCY AND DESI - both Sundance Premieres.)

Shabbat Lounge's Saturday night program was dedicated in memory of Dr. Bruce M. Marmor (Dov Michael Ben David) - z"l.
On Sunday, Shabbat Lounge launched the special Sundance Rishon Series, which discussed the Power of Film to Preserve Memory, with Bianca Stigter, Director of THREE MINUTES: A LENGTHENING! Read more about this reflective film here and in the New York Times here.
