Woodward Ave., Birmingham, Mich. HOLLYWOOD — Neil Israel is co-author of story and screenplay as well as director of "Americathon," an exploitation film dealing irreverently with- the United States in the year 1998. JOAN MICKLIN SILVER and husband Raphael (who is the son of the late Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver) are an independent filmmaking team who first surprised audiences with "Hester Street," the deeply moving tale of an immig- rant family on the East Side of New York at the turn of the century. "Between the Lines" was a low-key drama set in the editorial offices of a small- town newspaper. "On the Yard," now in release, is a devastating expose of prison conditions with the focus on the dreary daily lives of long-term inmates at the mercy of underground bos-. ses who control the cells with bribes and threats. While Silver directed "On the Yard" with his wife as producer, Mrs. Silver now on her own completed on lo- cation in Salt Lake City a Modern love story, "Head JERUSALEM — Interns For Peace has succeeded in placing 10 of their interns into three Arab com- munities in Israel's north- ern district — Tamra (pop. 15,000), in the western Galilee, the Ar'ara and Kara (pop. 6,000 each), both in the Little Triangle region. As a sign of the coopera- tion and hospitality that the interns have received from the communities, the local community councils have taken on the responsibility of providing housing for them in the villages where they are working. According to Rabbi Bruce Cohen, program director, the interns (eight North American Jews and two Is- raelis — one Jew and one Arab) are working closely with the local advisory committees of Interns For Peace. These committees, consisting of village leaders and other professionals from within the com- munities, are helping the interns to integrate them- selves into the predomin- antly Moslem communities. The interns are also working with these advi- sory committees to help develop regional cooperative programs between Israel's rural Jewish and Arab com- munities. The interns will act as bridges between the two groups by bring- ing people together to work on mutually bene- ficial projects. Persons wishing to be- come Interns For Peace can write the organization at 150 Fifth Ave., room 1002, New York 10011. Over Heels," from the novel, "Chilly Scenes of Winter" by Anne Beattie which Mrs. Silver not only adapted to the screen but also directed. RUTH GORDON, the quite youthful octogenarian most recently with Lee Strasberg in "Boardwalk" against a middle-class Brooklyn background, now stars scilo in "My Body- guard" — in its entirely to be photographed on loca- tions in Chicago. The cur- rent epic shows Ms. Gordon as a retired musical comedy dancer who still enjoys her- self at a neighborhood rum- pus room — given the task of watching over her 15- year-old grandson (por- trayed by Chris Makepeace) growing up in a quite un- savory neighbothood of the windy city. WILLIAM FRIEDKIN, in the streets of New York, has completed the highly explosive picture "Cruis- ing," starring Al Pacino as a policeman setting up a decoy to catch a psychopathic killer. MARK ROBSON, before his untimely death, was about to complete on the sound stages of Rome the in- ternational adventure story with political undertones, "Avalanche Express" star- ring Lee Marvin, Maximi- lian Schell, Linda Evans, Joe Namath, Horst Buch- Holz, Mike Connors and the late Robert Shaw. Some 30 years before he rose to instant prominence when guiding the Oscar- winning "The Champion" starring Kirk Douglas, it also-brought producer Stan- ley Kramer into the fore- ground of courageous film making. Director Robson and producer Kramer teamed up again with "Home of the Brave," the first film to tackle the race issue within the armed forces. Japan Takes Arab Slant WASHINGTON — Newsweek magazine re- ports that Japanese Foreign Minister Sunao Sonoda has decided to urge the Israelis to pull out of all occupied Arab territories, including East Jerusalem. In a speech at the UN later this month, Sonoda will also urge that the PLO be included in fu- ture peace talks, Newsweek says. Last month, Sonoda held a dinner party for 13 Arab ambassadors, but pointedly left Egyptian representa- tives off the guest list. United Synagogue to Meet in Nov. NEW YORK — More than 2,000 delegates repre- senting some 800 Conserva- tive synagogues in the U.S. and Canada will participate in the week-long biennial convention of the United Synagogue of America, to be held at the Concord Hotel, Kiamesha Lake, New York, Nov. 11-15.
