Toronto Jewish Film Festival features rarely seen productions from early in Saul Rubinek’s career, as well as the new Ukrainian drama SHTTL
Rarely seen, these productions will be available to view online for free across the country from June 1-11 as part of the
. This year’s TJFF, now in its 31st year, is actually a veritable Saul schmooze. The fest is also screening the new Ukrainian drama,, which features Rubinek in a tale of a Jewish village on the eve of the Second World War, and will host an in-person conversation with the actor June 10 at Innis Hall, where he will recount his long and stacked career playing characters who are crusty and coked-up .
For Rubinek – who remains as busy as ever, including a wry supporting turn in the new Canadian comedy, now in theatres – the TJFF is an opportunity to revisit work he hasn’t thought about in decades. “John Hirsch back then, you know he opened a lot of doors to different writers and directors. For us in alternative Toronto theatre, it felt like a real birth of Canadian television,” Rubinek recalls. “Working with directors George Bloomfield, Ralph L. Thomas, Claude Jutra – those were important people in my life as a young actor. It helped me a lot when I went to New York to expand my career.”
But more than looking toward the past, Rubinek sees the TJFF events as chances to dig deeper into his twin passion projects that, in their own ways, cut to the heart of how he views contemporary Jewish culture., Rubinek gets to perform for the very first time in Yiddish, the language that he grew up speaking as the child of Polish Jews.
