A talkback with Sharon Lee Parker and Sandee Brawarsky followed the screening of “The Catskills,” sponsored by the Jewish Standard, for the Teaneck International Film Festival on Sunday, at Temple Emeth. Ms. Parker, right, was the former director of guest relations at the legendary Concord Hotel, and Sandee Brawarsky of Teaneck was the Jewish Week’s longtime arts and culture editor.

The film is about bungalow colonies and hotels — the vacationers, the entertainers, and life during the golden years of the Borscht Belt. For information, go to www.teaneckfilmfestival.org.
