- GOLDA'S BALCONY, THE FILM (2019) has won the Audience Award for "BEST FEATURE" at every competitive Film Festival at which it's been screened (as of 3/20/19), reflecting the film's growing popularity with Festivals in America today.
- WINNER. AUDIENCE AWARD: "BEST FEATURE" at the 2019 Palm Beach Jewish Film Festival (Feb 12, 2019). - Tovah Feldshuh recreates her award-winning performance as Golda Meir in GOLDA'S BALCONY, THE FILM (2019), as this final masterpiece by the author of "The Miracle Worker," William Gibson, makes its motion picture debut at film festivals in 2019. The film-from a rare, multi-camera shoot from the play's original run-was recently unearthed (literally, from a safe) and assembled into a new but absolutely riveting motion picture, scheduled to make its World and national premieres in Film Festivals across America, Europe and Israel in calendar year 2019. Categorically 'a dramatic feature at 86 minutes in length', "Golda's Balcony, The Film" charts the rise of Golda Meir from Russian schoolgirl to Prime Minister of Israel, and is one of the most thrilling and amazing stories of the 20th Century. In this new film, Meir's life has been transformed into a cinematic event of overwhelming power and inspirational triumph. As a play on Broadway and Off, the work sold out over 500 performances, becoming not only the longest-running, one-woman show in Broadway history, but earning accolades from the likes of ELIE WIESEL ("Tovah Feldshuh's performance is brilliant. Everyone should see Golda's Balcony, it's a miracle!"), former NATIONAL DIRECTOR of the Anti-Defamation League ABE FOXMAN ("I came, I saw, I was conquered. Golda's Balcony brings Golda, Israel and the Jewish people to life. Everyone should see it!"), and a majority of national Jewish leaders and theatre critics.
- TOVAH FELDSHUH recreates her award-winning performance as GOLDA MEIR (and 44 other characters) in GOLDA'S BALCONY, THE FILM (2019), as this final masterpiece by the author of "The Miracle Worker," William Gibson, makes its motion picture debut at film festivals in 2019 (directed by Scott Schwartz). The rise of Golda Meir from Russian schoolgirl to Prime Minister of Israel is one of the most thrilling and amazing stories of the 20th Century. In GOLDA'S BALCONY, THE FILM (2019), her life has been transformed into a cinematic event of overwhelming power and inspirational triumph. While perhaps 'a film of a play,' this new work nevertheless plays like a film. Like the recent high-definition video shoot of Broadway smash Hamilton, this multi-camera, kinetically-edited version of Golda's Balcony is likely to be the standard motion picture version of this Golda-bio-drama for years to come. As a play on Broadway and Off, Golda's Balcony sold out over 500 performances, becoming the longest-running, one-woman show in Broadway history. TOVAH FELDSHUH's galvanizing, TONY-Award Nominated rendition of Golda has been so dramatically edited, and cinematically 'put together,' that audiences who may have originally adored the performance from the upper tiers on Broadway may now 'get up close and personal' to Tovah's marvelous work: her face, her expressions, the subtlety and unprecedented brilliance of her Golda Meir. Former HADASSAH PRESIDENT JUNE WALKER perhaps put it best: "Run, don't walk, to Golda's Balcony, to spend an emotional hour and a half with one of the great women of history. Jews especially will be touched, but people of all religions will marvel at this triumph: it is not to be missed!"
