Bringing Five Jewish Directors into Focus Guest speaker: film critic Adam Nayman While Hollywood was built by Eastern European emigres turned industry moguls, the second half of the 20th century saw a distinctly Jewish sensibility find its place behind the camera. Using feature film clips, documentary material, and biographical texts, Adam will place five significant Jewish-American filmmakers in conversation with each other, analyzing the social, artistic and philosophical dimensions of their work, how (or if) their films connect to their Judaism, and the cinematic worlds they represent. Presented in partnership with the Toronto Film Society.
