| 1. What did you think of the exhibition? >> discuss |
Was it entertaining? Informative? Confusing? Did it fulfill the expectations that you brought, or did it surprise you? Were there any sections you thought were especially informative or thought-provoking?
How does the Jewishness of filmmakers, actors, producers, directors, and other media artists inform the nature of their work? Do you think there is a specific Jewish sensibility? If so, what determines this? If not, why not?
Are the issues raised by Entertaining America relevant to other American communities that are defined by religion, ethnicity, race, sexuality, or other criteria? To what extent is this a distinctively Jewish phenomenon?
Why do you think that Hollywood and other American media institutions have been a focus over the years for anti-Semitic propaganda? How do you think this should be addressed?
Which people, media works, institutions, or issues do you think are missing from or neglected by Entertaining America? Why are these significant and how might they have been displayed?
Are film, broadcasting, and other mass media compatible with religious life? Is there unexplored potential for Jews and other religious communities in these media?
