Congrats Handball Legend Brought Back to Life film for landing Winner for best Documentary at iChill Manila Int Film Fest!
This short documentary recalls the popular sport of handball and one of its legends. That legend was Mr Morris Levitsky, also known Morris Levitsky, aka Morris “Moishe” Novitsky”. Mr. Levitsky, was one of the seminal characters in this unique sport from the mid 1920 to end of the century. The Rare Archival footage in this piece, depicts both the sport, and the Coney Island era, and brought the past back to life for me. But perhaps a strange parallelism is the substory, of how this well-known advocate of the sport, Mr Levitsky, also faced the situation where he was miraculously “brought back to life!”.
