New York, NY (PRWEB) May 16, 2014 -- Newly opened Russian Central Asian restaurant with live music, Moscow 57, will host a party celebrating the premier of the documentary film, RED FATHER, on Friday, May 16th at 7:30pm. Moscow 57 owner Ellen Kaye met Tova Beck-Friedman, the film's director at a broadcast of Cat Radio Cafe, hosted by Janet Coleman and David Dozer on WBAI at The Cornelia Street Cafe.

RED FATHER, directed by Tova Beck-Friedman is the story of the rise and fall of Bernard Ades. The film examines Bernard Ades' life, as told by his daughter, which was marked by the events and political forces that rocked the world - events in which he actively participated - from struggling for civil rights at home to fighting fascism on the battlefields of Spain to losing his livelihood as the result of blacklisting.

In the early 1930's, as a young lawyer working for the International Labor Defense, Bernard Ades gained notice defending African Americans in capital cases on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. His most noted trial was the Euel Lee case, in which he fought the Maryland white judicial system compelling it to expand its jury panels to include African Americans. His civil rights advocacy was met with disbarment proceedings in which he was successfully defended by Thurgood Marshall, the future Supreme Court justice.

His daughter Janet, a "red diaper baby" growing up in a New York socialist enclave, looked up to her father. She admires his wisdom, his generosity and his world outlook. While as a child she thought him larger than life, as an adult she questions his ideology, its implementation, and her father's Communist involvement. Throughout his trial and later tribulations, Ades remained true to his ideals.

RED FATHER will premiere at the Soho International Film Festival, on Friday, May 16th at 5:30pm at the Village East Cinemas, 189 Second Avenue, New York City. A Question and Answer period with the cast and crew will immediately follow the screening.

Tova Beck-Friedman is an artist working in the mediums of film, video, photography and sculpture. Recipient of several grants and artistic residencies, her work has been shown internationally in festivals, galleries, on television and on the internet.

She has exhibited at international venues notably: The International Artists' Museum, at the 50th Venice Biennale; The National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington DC; Yeshiva University Museum in New York; The Jerusalem Cinematheque; The Newark Museum; The Athens Video Art Festival, Athens, Greece; The In Flux Video Art Festival.

Her film "At The Alter of Her Memories" was broadcast on Israeli Television and "A Portrait Of The Artist As An Old(er) Woman" was shown on US PBS stations.
