PRESERVING LOST WORLDS Memories in Wood followed by Three Minutes: A Lengthening
- Talks +More
7-10pm
The Schwartz/Reisman Centre for Adult Jewish Learning, the Koffler Centre for the Arts, and Elevation Pictures present a special commemorative double bill featuring Swiss architect, Manuel Herz, lead architect of the new synagogue at Babyn Yar, and a screening of the documentary film, Three Minutes: A Lengthening.
Following Herz’s talk, we’ll have a rare opportunity to view the film, Three Minutes: A Lengthening, which recovers the stories of the vibrant Jewish community of Nasielsk, Poland, from a short piece of amateur silent footage taken by David Katz in 1938, found years later among his effects in Florida. Filmmaker Bianca Stigter expands these three minutes of film into a feature-length documentary, transforming a community lost to Treblinka into a shimmering testament to their memory. Holy Blossom member, Laurie May, of Elevation Pictures, will introduce the film.
