The Shvitz film is a 50 minute documentary which looks at urban life and the art of sweating through the remaining traditional steambaths or shvitzes. Entertaining, humourous and authentic, the film has won awards as one of the most creative short works of the year, and opened festivals both in the U.S. and internationally. The Shvitz was featured on the arthouse film circuit in 1994 as NY IN SHORT. Jonathan Berman, director of the film, chose to create an enviroment that reflected both his personal identification with the Jewish men's club ambience of the baths and the current diversity/trendiness of downtown life. Berman is currently producing a New York based feature film as well as a documentary about his friend a bank robber. Trumpeter/ Composer London tours and records with Les Miserables Brass Band, LL Cool J, They Might Be Giants, David Byrne, Lester Bowie, LaMonte Young, Mel Torme and others. In addtion to The Shvitz, his film scoring credits include the critically acclaimed short film The Debt., and The Brother From Another Planet.
