Among Neighbors
April 30 @ 7:00 pm
Film screening. Combining magical realism and evocative hand-drawn animation with revelatory interviews and verité footage, Among Neighbors examines the story of a small, rural town where Jews and Polish Catholics lived side by side for centuries before World War II. The film brings the Polish response to the Holocaust to life through the last living eyewitnesses, revealing both love and betrayal as it zeroes in on one of the last living Holocaust survivors from the town, and an aging eyewitness who saw Jews murdered there – not by Nazis, but by her own Polish neighbors. Produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker Yoav Potash (Crime After Crime, Sundance Film Festival). This screening will feature a special edition of the film, which includes a recorded introduction by filmmaker Yoav Potash and an in-depth post-film Q&A compilation that reveals the fascinating making-of stories behind this critically-acclaimed film.
