Event Details - Maine Jewish Film Festival: 'Raise the Roof'

During World War II, the Nazis destroyed a multitude of wooden synagogues — considered to be among the most remarkable wooden structures ever built. This documentary follows the remarkable effort to rebuild Poland's glorious Gwoździec synagogue using only traditional tools, methods and materials. Following the Bates screening, the film’s art team director, Krista Lima, joins Raluca Cernahoschi and Jakub Kazecki, assistant professors of German, for a discussion. A reception at the Mays Center follows at 3:30pm. Tickets $10/$8 (plus service fee), available at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2870144. FMI 207-523-3422.
