Celebrating Bella Abzug, July 24 in Boynton Beach"Part of our mission is to bring thought-provoking films to Palm Beach," said SASIFF Founder Donald M. Ephraim. "I can only imagine what a firebrand like Bella Abzug would make of this election year and our hope is that this special summer screening sparks audience interest on both sides of the political aisle. The 2022 winner of the Library of Congress/Ken Burns Prize for Film, BELLA! celebrates the fiery feminist who entered Congress in 1970 ready for a fight. With her trademark hat and Bronx swagger, Bella Abzug upended the Washington patriarchy, battling for women's equality, civil rights, and LGBTQ+ protections. Using never-before- Jeff L. Lieberman, the writer-director of BELLA!, will attend the special screening and participate in a Q&A with the audience. Ken Burns, America's most celebrated documentary filmmaker, has praised BELLA! as "one of the most energetic and wonderful films," while The New York Times says it "illustrates the merciless challenges of electoral endurance event for the fiercest fighter." How to Get Tickets to BELLA! Cinemark Boynton Beach 14 is located at 1151 N. Congress Ave. in Boynton Beach. Tickets to Bella! are $14 and may be purchased at http://sasiff.org/ SASIFF returns for a new season with screenings at the Rinker Playhouse at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts (Jan. 23-Jan. 30, 2025) and EVO Entertainment Delray (Jan. 31-Feb. 2, 2025).
