Pearl Gluck, Internationally Celebrated Film Maker

Our dear friend Pearl Gluck is an inspiration on many levels. Not only is her hilarious and touching documentary film Divan inspirational in its story, but she has done an amazing job in pulling every string within her reach to get the film made and now distributed and marketed. After its debut last year at the Tribeca Film Festival, it is now slated to have a two week run at NYC’s Film Forum from March 17-30.

Not surprisingly, the media love the story of her film, about her family history growing up in and then leaving the orthodoxy of Hasidic Judiasm and her quest to regain a family heirloom couch (aka, divan) in rural Hungary. Today, she was featured on NPR’s All Things Considered. You go, girl!

More details on PalinkaPictures.com (which I’m currently in the process of adding a blog to; please stand by).

    I would like to contact Pearl Gluck. I read that she is involved in a film about the kibbutz phenomena in Israel.

    I have stories and contacts which could prove intersting and usefull to her.
