giving creative expression to the voice of the soul
Filmed summer 2010 by the girls and staff of Kol Neshama, and based on the short story by Gershon Kranzler, “The Heart that Sings” tells the story of a young Holocaust survivor named Miriam who spends a 1950s summer as the music director at a camp in the Catskills Mountains of New York. At first, the campers take advantage of Miriam’s quiet, broken spirit, but in the end, they transform each other in a magnificent way.
With more than 15 cast and crew members from “The Heart that Sings” in attendance at the New York premiere, the post-screening Q&A session was a great look into the making of a frum movie.
Here are a few fun and enlightening clips. (Excuse the low-quality lighting and sound…)
