History through Film : Dreaming of a Jewish Christmas
Monday 7 December 2026 at 2:00 PM
Melton Library & Learning Hub
Event Description
Discover rich heritage and culture at our monthly History Through Film sessions.
This month, get into the festive spirit with 'Dreaming of a Jewish Christmas : Jewish Songwriters Composing Christmas Music'. Set almost entirely in a Chinese restaurant, this offbeat, irreverent musical documentary tells the story of a group of Jewish songwriters, including Irving Berlin, Mel Tormé, Jay Livingston, Ray Evans, Gloria Shayne Baker and Johnny Marks, who wrote the soundtrack to Christianity’s most musical holiday.
It’s an amazing tale of immigrant outsiders who became irreplaceable players in pop culture’s mainstream - a generation of songwriters who found in Christmas the perfect holiday in which to imagine a better world, and for at least one day a year, make us believe in it.
