presented by Philadelphia Jewish Film and Media and in partnership with Congregations of Shaare Shamayim, Holocaust Awareness Museum and Education Center (HAMEC), and Reform Congregation Keneseth IsraelDirected by Laura Bialis (Docudrama Feature | USA | 2023 | 90 min | English) Though his pioneering microscopy transformed the nature of science photography, Roman Vishniac is best known for his iconic images of Jewish life in Eastern Europe from 1935 through 1938. Few predicted that less than a decade later, these communities would be wiped out, and Vishniac’s photographs would provide the last visual records of an entire world. VISHNIAC follows the artist from his early years in tsarist Russia to his emergence as a modernist photographer in Weimar Berlin, his journeys across Eastern Europe before the war, and his family’s dramatic escape to America in 1940.For a limited time only, use RomanVishniac at checkout for $5-off general admission!
