Maria NiroUSA, English, French, Italian, and Japanese with English subtitles, 61 minutesQ&amp;A with director Maria Niro and film subject, artist Krzysztof Wodiczko, moderated by Darsie Alexander, Senior Deputy Director and Susan &amp; Elihu Rose Chief Curator, The Jewish Museum\nBuy Tickets Saturday, January 14 at 7:00 PM\nPolish artist Krzysztof Wodiczko has devoted his career to work that calls attention to the inhumanity of war, imploring us to dismantle and change our perceptions of human conflict so we can drive toward peace\u2014a concept he calls \u201cUn-War.\u201d Now 79 years old, Wodiczko is the subject of a compelling documentary by Maria Niro. The film pays tribute to his artistry and political commitment, demonstrating how his large-scale works, which include slide and video projections onto the sides and facades of major architectural sites and monuments, serve to disrupt the complacency of a public increasingly inured to violence. Delving into Wodiczko\u2019s extensive array of stirring installations as well as his own past traumas\u2014which include his having been born in 1943 Warsaw, two days before the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, as well as growing up in a Communist Poland still feeling the tragic aftereffects of World War II\u2014Niro\u2019s film also features interviews with fellow artists and activists in its pursuit of the heart and soul of a major artist whose work will, unfortunately, never be irrelevant.\nA Letter to Mother (1939) by dirs.

Set in the years leading up to World War I, Joseph Green and Leon Trystand\u2019s film follows Dobrish (Lucy German), a mother of three children trying to provide for her family in a town in Poland (now Ukraine), after her husband moves to America. Struggling against the ever-increasing challenges of poverty and war, Dobrish and her children finally strike out for New York with help from the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) in the hopes of rebuilding their lives for a better future. The most financially successful Yiddish film of its era, and a hit in New York, where it opened just two weeks after Germany\u2019s blitzkrieg over Poland, the landmark A Letter to Mother is a moving work of traditional melodrama and a metaphor for the displacements facing European Jews in 1939.

At first, Hania is blinded by love, falling intensely for technology student Janek, whom she meets at a play opening; gradually, however, she comes to realize that her fellow Jewish citizens\u2014including Hania\u2019s doctor father\u2014are being persecuted in a series of antisemitic purges conducted in response to the hate-fueled rhetoric of Poland\u2019s leader, W\u0142adys\u0142aw Gomu\u0142ka. When her family decides to emigrate for their own safety, Hania doesn\u2019t want to join them, and instead tries to build a life with Janek. However, things spiral out of control, leading to a powerful climax set during the infamous events of March 1968. Inspired by a moment in time that shaped the social consciousness of director Krzysztof Lang, the film depicts the momentous collision of history and romance.\nSupportThe New York Jewish Film Festival is made possible by the Martin and Doris Payson Fund for Film and Media.
