Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the multiplicity of film texts that were marketed and exhibited to British-Jewish audiences as Jewish interest productions. These include Yiddish language films, Hollywood ‘ghetto’ dramas, and European productions preoccupied with Jewish exoticism. Particular attention is devoted to the screening of documentary films depicting Zionist activity in interwar Mandatory Palestine that developed out of lantern slide lectures on the subject of Jewish life in the Levant. A partner piece to chapter two this account clarifies the textual component to a Jewish cinema culture, illustrating what was screened in the exhibition spaces of Jewish neighbourhoods.
