The premise of The Human Race, a new sci-fi thriller from Paul Hough, is simple: a seemingly random group of people awaken to find themselves in a strange environment. Voices inside their heads set out the rules to a vicious footrace. If you are lapped twice, you die. If you venture off the path, you die. Thus begins what critics are calling an "R-rated Hunger Games" where people of all ages and backgrounds are pitted against each other in the ultimate contest for survival. Director Hough (The Backyard, The Angel) aimed to challenge almost every convention of the sci-fi and horror genres, including casting a lead actor (Eddie McGee) with only one leg. After years in production, the movie received an ecstatic world premiere at The Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal where it was celebrated as "an absolute triumph of ingenuity" and a "smartly scripted powerhouse."

Classic Green Fields Film Depicts the Yiddish Idyll

The Washington Jewish Film Festival presents a screening of the 1937 film Green Fields at Washington DCJCC. In Yiddish with English subtitles, the comedy-drama was praised for ushering in the "Golden Age of Yiddish cinema." Levy Yitzchok (played by Michael Goldstein), an orphaned student, leaves his yeshiva to search for "true Jews" in the Lithuanian countryside. He meets a family of Jewish peasants living on a farm in the shtetl, and they accept him as a boarder in exchange for him tutoring their children. Audiences of the day loved Green Fields for its soulful celebration of an idyllic world of tribal wholeness and innate piety. No other movie has ever represented the shtetl with such lyricism.

Description

 In The Human Race a group of 80 people are ripped out of their daily lives and all re-appear in an undisclosed location. These people are from all walks of life: young and old, athletic and disabled, white-collared and homeless. The rules to a race boom in their heads, in their own voice and language, laying out what will become a horrific race of terror: “If you are lapped twice, you die. If you step off the path, you die. Race…or die.” Startling, violent and powerful, The Human Race is a cruelly inspired beast. Will anyone have mercy on the elderly, the children, the wounded, or the pregnant? Will anyone band together or will the innocent all be forced to become brutal killers? There’s only one way to find out who will survive…watch humanity unraveled & revealed in The Human Race.
