San Diego Jewish Film Festival: Flory's Flame
4126 Executive Drive, San Diego, 92037
Cost: $12.75 - $13.75
One-hour documentary about the life and music of 90-year old Sephardic composer and performer Flory Jagoda, interlacing Flory’s personal narrative with selections from her September 2013 Celebration Concert at the US Library of Congress. A National Heritage Fellow — the highest honor given by the US to traditional artists — Flory was born in Sarajevo to a musical family whose roots stretched back to Spain for hundreds of years prior to the Jewish expulsion during the Inquisition in 1492.
