Attend this film fest: JewishFilm.2012 at the ICA

Ernst Lubitsch's To Be or Not To Be (1940) managed to poke fun at the Nazis while underscoring their evil, and German director Leander Haußman takes a lesson from the master in his Hotel Lux (2011). In this Lubitschean screwball comedy, a cabaret performer in '30s-era Berlin finds his Hitler-Stalin routine is drawing more threats than laughs. So he heads for Hollywood. Too bad his passport is Russian and he gets stuck in the Moscow establishment of the title where he must draw on his talents to escape the whims of Stalin's paranoia. It screens as a presentation of JewishFilm.2012 at the Institute of Contemporary Art, 100 Northern Ave, Boston | April 26 @ 7 pm | $11; $9 students, seniors | 617.478.3100 or icaboston.org.
