New series of lectures "The Jewish world on the big screen. Cinema as a tool and pretext"

The aim of this series The Jewish World on the Big Screen. Cinema as a Tool and Pretext is to address the issue of cinema related to the Jewish world. From the creation of Hollywood as a film industry to films that show the harshness of the Holocaust, cinema has been a powerful tool for telling the stories, cultures and identities that make up the contemporary Jewish world. The series aims to explore where this association between cinema and the Jewish fact comes from, and what network of connections we can find between the two. More information here.
