7 Days In Arts

Saturday

Francophile or Franco-reviler, ya gotta give credit where it’s due. Screening
as part of the “City of Lights, City of Angels” French cinema festival is “La
Petite Prairie Aux Bouleaux.” Translated to English, it means “A Birch Tree
Meadow.” But they’re actually both translations of the word Brzezinka, better
known as Birkenau. The film tells the story of Myriam, who returns to the death
camp where she was imprisoned at the age of 15. An official selection of the
2003 Berlin Film Festival, it might just be worth a bravo. 3:45 p.m. $6-$9.
Directors Guild of America, 7920 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles. “>www.eurobayentertainment.com.

Tuesday

Day 2. Our suggestion for taking one’s mind off of the strategic seder
seating arrangements: The new “Voices for Israel” double CD is said to be the
largest compilation by Jewish music stars, featuring songs by Dudu Fisher,
Yehuda Solomon and the Moshav Band, Sam Glaser, Avraham Fried, and some 30
others, as well as a “We Are The World-esque” tribute song, “Chazak Amenu: We
Stand As One.” Created to raise funds for victims of terror, the collection will
inspire, while placing your problems in proper perspective. You’ll rock out,
abandoning all neurotic mental images of an angry Aunt Sylvia knocking over the
cup of Elijah as she lunges across the table at Uncle Mortie. $25.
