Shlomo Weprin, the director of “Song of Ascent,” will appear with the screening on Sunday, November 17 at noon in the Grace Gamm Theater at the Dairy Arts Center. A few tickets are still available.
Weprin, a filmmaker who divides his time between New York and Tel Aviv, has known Matisyahu for many years and was in a unique position to record the singer’s journey through the post-October 7 landscape. A story about the healing power of music, Song of Ascent grants viewers a unique perspective on the events of the last year in Israel and at home.
This powerful documentary/concert film follows Matisyahu’s journey as he performs three sold-out shows in Israel while facing cancellations and protests at his US tour dates due to rising anti-Israel sentiment. Thrust into a role he never sought, Matisyahu becomes a significant voice for Jewish people worldwide, navigating the complexities of identity, faith, and resilience amidst a global crisis. Watch the trailer.
Shlomo Weprin has produced numerous commercials, music videos and shorts. His short film “Shuk Gallery” went viral and has been featured on 50 news outlets. Watch it here.
