JewishGen Discussion Group #JewishGen Film from Marriage of Miss Rose Carmel and Mr Solly Gershcowit #general
It has recently come to my attention of this 'home movie' that was
shown a few weeks ago at the British Film Institute and is available for anyone to see on Youtube. It is the marriage of my great-uncle Solly GERSHCOWIT to Rosie CARMEL in 1925. It starts off with the bride & groom leaving their home which was above the family Ironmongers store at 50 Brick Lane, London,E1. Many members of the family can be seen dancing in a garden. My mother Sylvia STAR should be there (age 5) but I cannot see her. Also my grandparents should be there too, but cannot be identified! The film has been available on YouTube channel since 2009 and has received almost 10,000 views to date -- here is the link if you want to see the film : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_X8NtbSsOns . The text will be updated to reflect the information on the family that I recently gave to the BFI. It's a lovely film and they are planning to add it to the BFI Player, initially as part of their big Britain on Film project (http://player.bfi.org.uk/britain-on-film/), but it will also feature in a new Jewish Britain collection planned for 2017. If anyone would like to give me any further information on the party guests or comments you can contact me privately on : roystar20@...
