The Sold Out World Premiere of FOUR SEASONS LODGE, directed by New York Times journalist Andrew Jacobs commenced on Tuesday, November 11, 2009, 8:00 PM, at the IFC Center, New York. Arrivals included industry professionals, producers, journalists, cast members, and their guest. A special Q&A session with director Jacobs, producer Matt Lavine, cast members Hymie Abramowitz, and Carl Potok, moderated by IFC Center promotion manager Harris Dew, preceded the exquisite world premiere gala at the Village Trattoria. 

FOUR SEASONS LODGE is a powerful, heartfelt, and uplifting, documentary. Set in the summer 2006 at the Four Seasons Lodge, Catskills Mountain, New York. The film shot in the raw graciously depicts a group of NYC seniors (holocaust survivors of Polish and German descent) that gather for the past 25 years at their summer bungalow colony to celebrate life! Sharing their harrowing experience through strong family bonds, attending Shabbat services, endless card playing, and joining in live comedy, singing, and dancing until the wee hours in the heart of the Borscht Belt is indeed a spiritual resurrection and celebration of life.
