Award-winner “Nathan-ism” Special Screening and Q&A
ABOUT THIS EVENT
Join us for a special event screening . Get ready to experience the amazing Nathan Hilu and his work on the big screen and engage in a lively Q&A with Director Elan Golod moderated by renowned director/producer Roberta Grossman. Don’t miss this opportunity to dive into the world of “Nathan” and meet the creative minds behind it.
SYNOPSIS: At the end of World War II, Nathan Hilu, the son of Syrian Jewish immigrants to New York, received a life-changing assignment from the U.S. Army: to guard the top Nazi war criminals at the Nuremberg trials.. This experience fueled a lifetime of artistic inspiration for Nathan, a virtually unknown “outsider artist”, who spent the next 70 years obsessively creating a visual narrative from his memories.
Filmmaker Elan Golod’s documentary is a portrait of the aging artist that begins as a peek at a unique witness to history and grows into an absorbing study of the function of art as archive and invention.
Daring to question an artist’s stories, “Nathan-ism” is a fascinating look at one man’s need to share truths with a world that doesn’t always want to listen.
