Oklahoma Jewish Film Festival Presents: Sabbath Queen

With special guest, local drag queen, Alistair Abulafia DeVane Summers.

Twisted Arts is proud to sponsor the opening night film for the 11th Oklahoma Jewish Film Festival, presented by the Jewish Federation of Tulsa and Circle Cinema from March 23-27.

Filmed over 21 years, “Sabbath Queen” follows Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie’s journey as the heir of 38 generations of Orthodox rabbis who is torn between accepting his ancestral destiny or becoming a drag queen rebel. In addition to his drag persona, Lau-Lavie is a queer bio-dad and the founder of Lab/Shul: an everybody-friendly, G-d optional, artist-driven, pop-up experimental congregation. With incredible access, award-winning director Sandi DuBowski (“Trembling Before G-d,” Sundance 2001) joins Rabbi Amichai on a life journey and cinematic quest to creatively and radically reinvent religion and ritual while challenging gender norms in a rapidly changing 21st century.
