Eatala: A LIfe in Klezmer. The Philadelphia Folklore Project is proud to premiere our documentary about klezmer musician Elaine Hoffman Watts on December 4, 2010, following it with a concert and party. We used footage from our special Mother's Day klezmer concert (2008), and drew on dozens of interviews about the distinctive Ukrainian-Jewish klezmer repertoire of the Hoffman family. To read more, see the press release. For a preview, watch our 3-minute video postcard "We play klezmer" featuring Elaine and Susan Watt or clips from the concert.
