About this Event
Tuesday, September 15, 2026, 7pm at Docs In Progress
Get a sneak peek at a near-completed feature film! This Work In Progress screening is a crucial test run for the filmmaker, who is looking for honest feedback from a fresh audience to see what works, and what needs a final polish before the picture lock. The filmmakers will be in attendance.
WORK IN PROGRESS FILM:
THE LUTHIER: The Ballad of Amnon Weinstein by Jon Adelman and Justin Toops
The film explores lyrically a master craftsman’s lifelong dedication to restoring violins, including the world famous collection of Holocaust violins known as the Violins of Hope. The collection would become his passion, his obsession, and ultimately his legacy.
