SUMMARY:Charlotte
DESCRIPTION:Based on an expansive collection of a thousand autobiographical paintings found after the war – considered by some to be the first graphic novel – this stunningly beautiful\, animated film sheds light on the life and work of Berlin-born artist Charlotte Salomon. Restricted and haunted by antisemitic laws\, the immensely gifted Salomon was forced to leave her beloved home country for southern France\, where she continued to paint\, using her art as a way of coping with her traumatic past and troubled family. Aged 26 and pregnant\, she was murdered in Auschwitz\, leaving her paintings\, a remarkable record of mid-20th century life\, to be found after the war. Salomon’s life was tragically cut short\, but Charlotte – featuring the voice of Keira Knightley who leads a starry British cast – excels in capturing the sheer genius of her art and its lasting\, powerful legacy. \nCanada/Belgium/France 2021\, 92 mins\, English \nDirector Eric Warin\, Tahir Rana featuring Keira Knightly\, Jim Broadbent\, Helen McCrory \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:Everything is Illuminated
DESCRIPTION:USA 2005\, 104 mins\, English\, Russian\, Ukrainian \nDirector Liev Schreiber\, featuring Elijah Wood\, Eugene Hütz \nThis American biographical comedy was adapted from Jonathan Safran Foer’s novel of the same name.  Jonathan Safran Foer\, a young American Jew\, goes on a quest to find the woman\, Augustine\, who saved his grandfather\, Safran Foer\, during the Holocaust in a small Ukrainian town called Trachimbrod that was wiped off the map when the Nazis liquidated Eastern European shtetls.  His guides are a cranky\, seemingly antisemitic grandfather\, his wound-up dog named Sammy Davis\, Jr.\, Jr.\, and his enthusiastic grandson\, Alex\, who constantly chatters with a unique command of English and a passion for American pop culture that keeps the arduous journey lighter. \n‘Liev Schreiber’s Everything is Illuminated begins in goofiness and ends in silence and memory. How it gets from one to the other is the subject of the film\, a journey undertaken by three men and a dog into the secrets of the past.’ (Robert Ebert) \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:A Call to Spy
DESCRIPTION:A Call to Spy is an historical drama inspired by the true stories of women recruited into England’s Special Operations Executive (SOE) during World War II.  Desperate for new recruits\, the SOE\, created in 1940 after the fall of France and before the US joined the war\, decided to train women as spies as it was believed that women could move more freely than men in occupied territories.  Vera Atkins\, a Romanian Jewish immigrant in London\, was the spymistress in charge of the program.  The work was extremely dangerous\, with all recruits risking death and many were killed or sent to concentration camps.  The film follows the stories of Vera Atkins and two recruits: Virginia Hall\, an American with a prosthetic leg and Noor Inayat Khan\, a Muslim pacifist born of Indian and Russian parents. \nA Call to Spy is an engrossing and often thrilling spy drama and a tribute to this courageous and diverse group of women who showed extraordinary bravely and ingenuity. Sarah Megan Thomas (writer\, producer and actor) believes that its themes are timeless. “It’s about standing up as individuals and taking action for what you believe in.” \nUSA 2019\, 124 mins\, English \nDirector Lydia Dean Pilcher featuring Sarah Megan Thomas\, Stana Katic\, Radhika Apte \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:Finding 100 Faces: capturing Jewish diversity
DESCRIPTION:In early 2018\, composer and film maker Benjamin Till\, who had only recently discovered he was Jewish\, decided to make the film 100 Faces to find out more about the community he’d been a member of for 43 years without realising.  His mission was to find one UK-based Jewish person born every year from 1918 to 2017 and it became an odyssey of discovery which took him all over the world. His final 100 people include Jewish people from all walks of life. Rabbis and chazans rub shoulders with Dames\, Lords\, holocaust survivors\, kinder-transportees\, well-known actors\, musicians\, writers and presenters and two men who fought at Cable Street. The whole film is set to music. Benjamin wrote an original score which was performed by the Israel Camera Orchestra.  Sit back and enjoy the film (approx 6 mins) and then hear about the bumpy and inspirational ride which led there! \n \nBenjamin Till is a multi-award-winning filmmaker and composer and pioneer in the field of the documentary musical. He grew up in Northamptonshire and describes himself as a fanatical Midlander of Welsh and Jewish extraction! He has many works to his credit including Our Gay Wedding: The Musical (Channel 4\, BAFTA-nominated\, winner\, Rose D’Or\, Grierson and Prix Italia.) This film is considered one of Channel 4’s most successful ever broadcasts. His most recent film\, 100 Faces\, which features the UK Jewish Community\, won the gold award at the Robinson’s International Short Film Competition. Benjamin sings with\, and is Resident Composer for\, the Jewish Male voice choir\, Mosaic Voices at New West End Synagogue\, London. Their most recent recording of Benjamin’s arrangement of Kol Nidrei was played on Radio 3. \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:Stanley Kubrick: New York Jewish Intellectual?
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE THIS TALK HAS NOW BEEN CANCELLED  TO AVOID RISK OF COVID-19 (CORONA VIRUS) INFECTION  \nStanley Kubrick is widely acknowledged as one of the world’s great directors. Yet few critics or scholars have considered how he emerged from a unique and vibrant cultural milieu: the New York Jewish intelligentsia. Nathan Abrams reexamines the director’s work in context of his ethnic and cultural origins and focuses on several of Kubrick’s key themes-masculinity\, ethical responsibility\, and the nature of evil.-At the same time\, he will explore Kubrick’s fraught relationship with his Jewish identity and his reluctance to be pegged as an ethnic director. \nNathan Abrams is Professor in Film at Bangor University. He co-convenes the British Jewish Contemporary Cultures network. He lectures\, writes and broadcasts widely on UK and American popular culture\, history film and intellectual culture. He co-founded Jewish Film and New Media and recent books are Eyes Wide Shut: Stanley Kubrick and the Making of His Final Film (with Robert Kolker\, Oxford University Press\, 2019)\, Stanley Kubrick: New York Jewish Intellectual (Rutgers University Press\, 2018)\, Hidden in Plain Sight: Jews and Jewishness in British Film\, Television\, and Popular Culture (Northwestern University Press\, 2016). \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)
