The Politics of Kissing - on Film
Well, even Casablanca’s success was unexpected so we should not be surprised that Israeli director, URI BAR-ON’s A Kiss Is A Kiss Is A Kiss was seen by a very select audience at tonight’s reception for the UK Jewish Film Festival on Tour in Manchester.
After all, an early Monday evening city-centre do a bare week before Passover is not everyone’s idea of an unmissable treat. But Bar-on’s engaging five-minute comedy on the politics of kissing, first seen at last year’s festival, not only had me giggling but highlighted director, JUDY IRONSIDE’s emphasis on diversity.
Shame there weren’t more people there to share the joke and enjoy the hospitality of the current LORD MAYOR OF MANCHESTER, COUNCILLOR MAVIS SMITHEMAN.
Never mind, I loved it!
