Summer in Ivye

Runtime
60 min
Documentary

Synopsis

An American choreographer stages a large-scale theater production in the tiny town in Belarus after discovering the fate of her family who lived there. She brings together an unlikely mix of actors, dancers, musicians and local townspeople to recreate scenes of life in the vibrant Jewish town of Ivye before World War II. This film looks with warmth and humor at the ability of people to transcend differences in language, religion and culture to retell a story that had been kept secret for over 50 years.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 7

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
