SUMMARY:JoJo Rabbit
DESCRIPTION:Dir. Taika Waititi\,\nStarring Taika Waititi\, Roman Griffin Davis\, Scarlett Johansson\, Rebel Wilson ; 2019\, 123 mins\, English \nSince the days of Chaplin’s The Great Dictator\, film-makers have adopted naive or comedic perspectives to pierce and deflate the hideous bubble of Nazi ideology. Now\, in this Golden Globe-nominated adaptation of Christine Leunens’s book Caging Skies\, New Zealand writer-director-performer Taika Waititi plays a camp\, slapstick version of Hitler\, who exists in the mind of a German boy\, Jojo. Roman Griffin Davis plays the 10-year-old growing up under the Third Reich\, whose jolly dreams of becoming an Aryan war hero are thwarted by his innate sensitivity and squeamishness. Beneath the fanaticism\, Jojo is a frightened boy whose sister has died and whose father has disappeared in battle. But his mother\, Rosie (Scarlett Johansson)\, has a secret: she’s a covert anti-fascist who is hiding a Jewish girl\, Elsa (Thomasin McKenzie)\, in the attic. When Jojo stumbles upon Elsa\, he is initially horrified\, believing her to be a monster. But gradually the pair strike up a love-hate relationship that infuriates imaginary Adolf and causes Jojo to start to rethink his allegiances. Through Elsa\, Waititi articulates some fundamental and insidious tenets of antisemitism that are being touted even now. She is the real conduit for empathy in the audience\, regardless of whether you’re Jewish or not \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:Remember
DESCRIPTION:Canada/Germany 2015\, 94 mins\, English \nDirector Atom Egoyan featuring Christopher Plummer and Martin Landau \n‘Christopher Plummer puts on a master class in acting\, and his director\, Atom Egoyan\, delivers one in audience manipulation in Remember a psychological thriller featuring that most blood-boiling of plot devices: a Nazi who escaped justice.’ \nMr. Plummer is Zev and Martin Landau plays Max\, fellow residents in an assisted-living complex. Max realizes they were both at Auschwitz. He is the brains and Zev is the brawn\, so to speak\, of a plan Max has hatched to seek vengeance on a concentration camp official who escaped to the United States under a false identity. Max is in a wheelchair\, but he arms Zev and sends him on a cross-country journey to interview four people who could be the missing Nazi\, the hope being that he’ll kill the man once he finds him. But Zev is floating in and out of dementia\, complicating the task and giving Mr. Plummer a chance to turn in a very fine performance.’ (Neil Glezinger\, NY Times review) \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:Back to Berlin
DESCRIPTION:Following eleven modern-day Jewish bikers on an epic journey from Tel-Aviv to Berlin\, crossing nine European countries and 4\,500 km in twenty-four days. Their mission\, to deliver the Maccabi torch to Hitler’s infamous 1936 Olympic stadium\, for the opening ceremony of the 2015 European Maccabiah Games. These riders follow in the tracks of the early 1930s’ bikers who set out from Tel Aviv to all corners of Europe.  En route\, each country holds a chilling resonance for our motor-cycling Holocaust survivors\, descendants of survivors and the grandson of a 1930s Maccabiah Rider. Stories of defiance and survival are revealed\, as well as those of horrifying tragedy.  As resurgent populism and anti-Semitism once again rear their ugly heads\, this film brings an important message through the voice of those who have been personally affected by one of the darkest pages in human history. This isn’t simply a “Jewish” story. It is the story of people overcoming the worst from fellow man to restate our common humanity. \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 bag of marbles (un sac de billes)
DESCRIPTION:Last year this film was sold out\, so we are reshowing it. Canadian director Christian Duguay explores the horrors of World War Two from the perspective of two young Jewish boys living in Nazi-occupied France in Un Sac de Billes (A Bag of Marbles). Based on the acclaimed memoirs of the same name by Joseph Joffo\, A Bag of Marbles is a lavishly shot production that is brilliantly acted and is a gut-wrenching reminder of one of history’s darkest chapters. Following the fall of Paris to Nazi Germany during World War II\, brothers Maurice (Batyste Fleurial) and Joseph (Dorian Le Clech) are forced to leave their close-knit Jewish family behind for the free-zone along the French Riviera. \n Despite the grim war scenes and the dark subject matter\, Duguay has created a lavishly shot film that boasts stunning cinematography\, lush locations and beautiful period costumes. The film beautifully balances the high stake tension with some sweet and endearing moments between the two brothers and celebrates their innocence. While the film is a dark reminder of a terrible page in our history\, its heart-warming story reminds us that there are still good people in our darkest moments (modified from Daniele Foti-Cuzzola) \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:No poetry after Auschwitz
DESCRIPTION:  \nStarting with Theodor Adorno’s much-quoted proposition that ‘After Auschwitz it is barbaric to write poetry’\, this talk will explore the tension between confronting the reality of the Holocaust and responding artistically through the medium of poetry to human experience. By focusing on individual poems by survivors such as Paul Celan and Primo Levi and English-language poets such as Anthony Hecht\, Michael Longley and Carol Ann Duffy\, the talk will tentatively consider how necessary poetry remains in the modern world. Examples of poems will be provided and can be found in the anthology\, “Holocaust Poetry”\, edited by Hilda Schiff. \nPhilip Lyons is a teacher and poet who lives in Bristol. He has taught creative writing and literary studies in a variety of settings\, including universities\, prisons and psychiatric hospitals. Since completing a PhD on Literary and Theological Responses to the Holocaust at the University of Bristol in 1988\, he has also worked in the fields of advice and guidance\, mental health\, and adult education. He is the author of one full-length collection\, “Like It Is” (Poetry Space\, 2011)\, and he has given readings throughout the South West\, including the Wells Festival of Literature and the Thornbury Arts Festival. \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:The Zookeepers Wife
DESCRIPTION:Adapted from Diane Ackerman’s 2007 non-fiction book\, the film follows Warsaw zookeepers Jan (Heldenbergh) and Antonina (Chastain) as they risk their lives to save Jewish townspeople from the Nazis by concealing them in their zoo home-turned-pig farm. From the opening scene of almost fairy-tale idyll\, life is transformed by the arrival of the Nazis.  The film contrasts life in the zoo with the neighbouring Warsaw ghetto and the struggles of its inhabitants as well as the partisans. \nThe story of the zookeepers who risked their lives repeatedly throughout the war is an incredibly moving and important story\, in and of itself. Years later\, when asked why they did what they did\, Jan Zabinski answered\, “I only did my duty—if you can save somebody’s life\, it’s your duty to try.” (Sheila O’Malley) \n  \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:Denial
DESCRIPTION:In 1996\, the historian Deborah Lipstadt was pursued in the UK courts by the notorious Holocaust denier David Irving\, for calling him a falsifier of history in her book Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory. This movie version of those events\, stars Rachel Weisz as Lipstadt and Timothy Spall as Irving. Weisz plays the professional historian who is astonished to find that people expect her to debate on equal terms with sinister deniers.  Lipstadt retains the solicitor Anthony Julius\, (Andrew Scott)\, who plans a shrewd legal tactic that involves the case being heard in front of a judge\, with no jury\, to minimise Irving’s theatricals. This film\, which reasserts the primacy of truth telling its story with punchy commitment and force\, is a breath of fresh air. (modified Peter Bradshaw\, Guardian) \nUK & US 2016\, 110 mins\, English \nDirector Mike Jackson featuring Rachel Weisz\, Tom Wilkinson\, Timothy Spall \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:Jewish Music out of the Shadows: Hidden Archives\, Lost Worlds
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe catastrophes of the twentieth century\, most significantly the Shoah\, led to the near destruction of the rich musical heritage of Eastern European and Russian Jews. Composers\, performers and their art were either lost forever\, or else became dispersed and fragmented\, leaving only shadowy echoes of a lost world. Stephen Muir will talk about a large international research project\, “Performing the Jewish Archive”\, which aims to bring some of that music back out of the shadows. Recovered from dusty cellars in Helsinki\, abandoned suitcases in Cape Town\, and the archive of human testimony held in the memories of survivors and their families\, music allows us to glimpse the riches of that lost world\, at the same time reminding us that unless they are cherished and recorded with painstaking care and urgency\, our archives risk being lost forever along with the world that produced them. \nStephen Muir studied at the University of Birmingham\, and is a Senior Lecturer in Music at the University of Leeds. He has published on subjects as diverse as Rimsky-Korsakov’s operas\, Dvořák’s piano-vocal arrangements\, and South African Jewish music. In 2014 he and other scholars were awarded one of the largest ever grants (£1.8 million) by the Arts and Humanities Research Council for “Performing the Jewish Archive” (ptja.leeds.ac.uk). \n  \nThis event as part of a programme of events for Bristol Holocaust Memorial Day (2017) See their website for more details \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)
