The Ann Arbor screening of "Live and Become", 8 p.m., Thursday, May 4, at United Artists Commerce, will be followed by a discussion moderated by David Magidson, professor in Wayne State University's theater department. "Live and Become" is the winner of the fourth annual Sarah & Harold Gottlieb Award for Contributions to Jewish Culture that is presented to the festival's best film. The film recounts the ironic yet life-affirming tale of a young boy from Ethiopia who survives and thrives in modern Israel by pretending to be Jewish. When the film festival's screening committee considers which movies to present, members look at "the quality of the movie-making and the importance of what the movie is talking about," said Magidson, who has served as festival director for the last seven years.
