The Polonski brothers, Abe, Ben and Josh, work together in their family's fabric store on the lower east side of Manhattan.
Shot in two period, one of 15 days during December 1999 and a few days of retakes in April 2000, in Super-8 format and improvised with no script, I Am Josh Polonski's Brother was shot mainly in Orchard Street in New York City, it includes rare footage of Rivington Street's First Roumanian-American congregation.
The film was then released in France by distributor MK2 and more than 50,000 people came to see it in theaters even though it was shot in Super 8mm.
Kodak supported the film to prove that it was possible to create a narrative feature in Super-8 format in the midst of the digital age.
Nadjari's idea is that the digital age is an archiving system that enables any other format to fit, not technically, but more to integrate with the story we want to tell.
