We are proud to partner with the Cinémathèque québécoise for the screening of two exceptional films, presented on March 10th, based on the monumental work Shoah.
🎬 Ziva Postec: The Editor Behind the Film Shoah at 5:45 p.m.
Nearly six years of her life went into editing Shoah, the groundbreaking work by Claude Lanzmann. Her name: Ziva Postec. This meticulous craftswoman, working quietly in the background, performed her task with a devotion bordering on obsession. From Jaffa, Israel, she looks back on an extraordinary creative undertaking.
French, English, German, Hebrew, Czech, Polish with French subtitles.
🎬 All I Had Was Nothingness – Shoah by Lanzmann at 8:15 p.m.
Claude Lanzmann spent 12 years creating Shoah, a groundbreaking film that redefined Holocaust representation. 40 years later, filmmaker Guillaume Ribot explores 220 hours of unreleased footage. Lanzmann’s quest to capture the reality of the Holocaust led him to interview victims, witnesses, and perpetrators from all over the world. Overcoming doubt, setbacks, and false leads, he embarked on an unparalleled journey culminating in a landmark masterpiece, now part of UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register. Only using Lanzmann’s own words drawn from his memoirs and never-before-seen excerpts, Guillaume Ribot pays homage to one of cinema’s masterpieces and to its director’s relentless pursuit of telling the untold.
French, Polish, English, Hebrew, German with English subtitles.
Two complementary films, two essential perspectives for understanding how cinema can become an act of remembrance. A rare opportunity not to be missed.
