DESERT FILM SOCIETY presents WELCOME TO KUTSHER'S

One time screening, Sneak Preview at Camelot Theatres, Saturday, January 24, 2015, 9:15AM-11:45AM Free to DFS, $10 at the door

Kutsher’s Country Club, family-owned and operated for over 100 years, was the last surviving Jewish resort in the Catskills aka the Jewish Alps. The Catskills resorts were not only a Jewish refuge and family vacation destination, they also gave birth to American stand-up comedy, the NBA All-Star Game, and all-inclusive resorts. Kutsher’s was once an upstate hotspot that attracted the likes of Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Woody Allen and Jerry Seinfeld. This award-winning documentary captures a last glimpse of a lost world as it disappears before our eyes.
