Free Silver

The documentary Silver Jew is available online for one week only at Pitchfork. The film, which chronicles musician David Berman (and his band the Silver Jews) playing shows in Israel during their first world tour, is part of a larger trend of free movies streaming online. Unfortunately Silver Jew provides so little context for anyone not familiar with the band's music that it will be of little interest unless you're already a Berman fan. (IFC)
