Partly Private
Nodecision made about a newborn son is as consequential and irreversibleas one made by parents around the world, often without a secondthought: What to do about that pesky foreskin? To filmmaker Danae Elon,who grew up in Israel but is a secular Jew, the entire ritual ofcircumcision is ridiculous. But her partner, Phillip, comes from atraditional French/Algerian Jewish family and believes wholeheartedlyin the tradition of the bris. So what else does a documentary filmmakerdo but explore the issue on the big screen?
Intimately opening her own personal experience to the world, Elon (Another Road Home, TFF '04,) takes a witty approach to a complicated and serious subject, turning Partly Privateinto a fun and entertaining movie that is as much about family as thesubject of circumcision. Traveling around the world during herpregnancy, she examines how people from other cultures in othercountries feel about what she considers an absurd and outdated ritual,and yet Elon never allows the film to become overly preachy for oneside of the debate or the other. Partly Private is an ironic and clever look at a topic to which most new parents may never give enough thought.
Note: Director Danae Elon was just named a 2009 recipient (in the Film category) of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship to Assist Research and Artistic Creation. Congratulations to her!
