After opening to sold out crowds in New York and Los Angeles, SABBATH QUEEN, opens at the Violet Crown Theaters in Santa Fe from April 16 to 25.  SABBATH QUEEN, a feature documentary filmed over 21 years, follows Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie's epic journey as the dynastic heir of 38 generations of Orthodox rabbis, including the Chief Rabbis of Israel. He is torn between rejecting and embracing his destiny. He becomes a drag-queen rebel, a queer bio-dad, and the founder of Lab/Shul - an everybody-friendly, God-optional, artist-driven, pop-up experimental congregation. SABBATH QUEEN joins Amichai on a lifelong quest to creatively and radically reinvent religion and ritual, challenge patriarchy and supremacy, champion interfaith love, and stand up for peace. The film interrogates what Jewish survival means in a difficult, rapidly changing 21st Century.

Purchase tickets now for Santa Fe to attend for screenings with Director Sandi DuBowski and special guest Lab/Shul Co-Founder and Spiritual Leader Shira Kline, Jewish ritual and performance artist. Special events include a sneak preview with the Santa Fe Jewish Film Festival on April 16 and Shabbat celebration on April 18. The film will subsequently screen for a week at the Violet Crown.
