LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - First Run Features has acquired all rights to "Four Seasons Lodge," Andrew Jacobs' feature documentary about a community of Holocaust survivors who meet each summer to celebrate their lives.

Filmmaker Albert Maysles led the team of cinematographers that shot the film.

Jacobs, a staff writer for the New York Times for the past 10 years who is currently a Beijing correspondent for the paper, developed "Lodge" out of a six-part Times series about summer life in the Catskills.
