Margaret Silverman's 9 minute experimental video documentary, Running Scenarios, considers the complex question:What does it mean to be Jewish? Through a five window split screen we view intimate familial Jewish experience through a Bar Mitzvah and the ritual making of challah, multi-media paintings of youth and Israeli military, and documentary interviews of the Jewish Diaspora, all which flank the central figure of a runner, Silverman herself.
