    Abstract: Based on the short stories of Anzia Yezierska, the first writer to bring stories of American Jewish women to a mainstream audience, Hungry Hearts focuses on the members of the Levin family who emigrate from Eastern Europe to New York City's Lower East Side. Abraham, the pious father learned in religion but uninterested in business, has difficulty making a living and adjusting to life in America. The daughter Sara scrubs floors in the tenement in order to earn money and "become a somebody." The mother Hannah, a noble matriarch, scrimps and saves to paint her dingy kitchen white only to have her landlord raise the rent because of the improvements. Filmed on location on the Lower East Side, this bittersweet classic captures the hopes and hardships of Jewish immigrants in the New World.

    Abstract: Spectacular rare archival film footage of Palestine in the tumultuous 1920s forms the heart of this documentary by Israeli filmmaker and scholar Ya'akov Gross. Considered lost for more than 70 years, these early films taken by Ya'akov Ben Dov, the father of Hebrew cinema, depict settlements and activities in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Rishon le Zion and Old Jaffa; visits by Albert Einstein and Winston Churchill; the funeral of Eliezer Ben-Yehuda; and early Zionists who pioneered the Third and Fourth Aliyahs. A vital and accessible look at a formative period in Israeli history. Dreamers and Builders includes material from three rare films by Ya'akov Ben Dov: Return to Zion (1920-21), The Rebirth of a Nation (1923), and Romance of Palestine (1926) - preserved in a joint project by the National Center for Jewish Film and the Israel Film Archive.

    Keywords: Kandel, Eric R. ; Hirnforschung ; Biographischer Film ; Dokumentarfilm
    Abstract: Der Neurowissenschaftler Eric Kandel ist fasziniert vom menschlichen Gedächtnis und davon überzeugt, dass geistige Vorgänge im Gehirn biologische Veränderungen erzeugen. Außerdem billigt er seiner Biografie und den damit verbundenen traumatischen Kindheitserinnerungen im von den Nazis beherrschten Wien der späten 30er Jahre einen wichtigen Einfluss auf seine Forschungsarbeit zu. Der Dokumentarfilm von Petra Seeger erzählt nicht nur Kandels Lebensgeschichte, er zeigt auch in einzigartigen Bildern aus Kandels Labor, wie sich das Gehirn verändert, wenn Menschen lernen oder wenn eine neue Erinnerung geformt wird. Seit über 50 Jahren widmet sich Eric Kandel der Entschlüsselung molekularer Prozesse im Gehirn, die dem menschlichen Gedächtnis zugrunde liegen. Im Jahre 2000 erhielt er dafür den Nobelpreis für Medizin, denn er entdeckte das CREB-Bindeprotein, das eine Schlüsselrolle bei der Speicherung von Ereignissen aus dem Kurzzeit- ins Langzeitgedächtnis spielt. Dieser Vorgang ist die Voraussetzung für Lernen und Erinnern. Kandel hat untersucht, wie geistige Vorgänge biologische Veränderungen erzeugen, und nachgewiesen, dass Lernen neuronale Schaltkreise verändert und Wissen eine anatomische Veränderung im Gehirn bewirkt. Das Gedächtnis zählt für Kandel zu den bemerkenswertesten Aspekten der menschlichen Existenz. "Die Erinnerung versieht unser Leben mit Kontinuität; ohne die bindende Kraft der Erinnerung würden unsere Erfahrungen in ebenso viele Bruchstücke zersplittern, wie es Momente im Leben gibt. Wir sind, wer wir sind, aufgrund dessen, was wir lernen und woran wir uns erinnern." Nach Kandel ist seine Gedächtnisforschung stark mit seiner Lebensgeschichte verbunden. In Wien geboren, musste er 1939, nach dem Anschluss Österreichs an Hitlerdeutschland im Alter von neun Jahren in die USA emigrieren. Er selbst schreibt über den Einfluss seiner Biografie und seiner traumatischen Kindheitserlebnisse im Wien der Naziherrschaft und des Holocaust auf seine Arbeit in seiner Autobiografie "Auf der Suche nach dem Gedächtnis", die im März 2006 mit großem Medienecho erschienen ist: "Ich bin davon überzeugt, dass mein späteres Faible für den menschlichen Geist - dafür, wie sich Menschen verhalten, wie unberechenbar ihre Motive und wie dauerhaft Erinnerungen sind - auf mein letztes Jahr in Wien zurückgeht. Nach dem Holocaust lautete das Motto der Juden: 'Niemals vergessen!' - wachsam gegen Antisemitismus, Rassismus und Hass zu sein ... Meine wissenschaftliche Arbeit widmet sich den biologischen Grundlagen dieses Mottos: den Prozessen im Gehirn, die uns zur Erinnerung befähigen." Der Filmemacherin Petra Seeger ist es als Erster gelungen, in dem weltweit führenden Labor der Gedächtnisforschung in enger Zusammenarbeit mit dem Neurowissenschaftler und Nobelpreisträger Eric Kandel einen Film zu drehen. Zwei Jahre arbeitete Petra Seeger, die unter anderem Porträts von Wim Wenders, Peter Zadek, Christoph Schlingensief und Rudolf Thome produzierte, an diesem Dokumentarfilm, der in Paris, Wien und New York gedreht wurde.

    Keywords: Weibliche Überlebende ; Überlebender ; Porträtfotografie ; Dokumentarfilm ; Schoa
    Abstract: The film unites three powerful elements. Central are classic black and white portraits of survivors, created by photographer/filmmaker Evvy Eisen. Survivors' stories are told in sections: Destruction and Loss, Lives Rebuilt and Reflections. Their emotion filled voices recount memories of the separation from family, the horror of the cattle car journey, the selection where it was decided if they were fit to work or condemned to die. A haunting solo piano score composed and performed by Nicole Milner, a survivor, unites the visual and spoken threads. This blending of original narrative, photographs, and music portray memorable images of human courage, stamina and creativity born of the most desperate circumstances. The film's historical as well topical implications make it relevant in a wide variety of community settings and schools where it has an especially strong resonance with student viewers.

    Keywords: Einwanderung ; Dokumentarfilm ; USA
    Abstract: This documentary, sponsored by the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, chronicles the history of the garment workers from 1900 to 1964. Opening with the flood of immigrants that poured through Ellis Island in the early 1900s, the film goes on to unveil dim Lower East Side sweatshops, coal mines and textile mills filled with children, the battlefields of World War I, and the anxious years of the Depression. In this setting we see the immigrants struggle to become part of their new country and labor's brutal battle to organize into a united movement during the 1930s. Actual footage of the Memorial Day Massacre at Republic Steel brings the power of authenticity to these scenes. The film moves through World War II and the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, as each generation fights to preserve and expand its freedom.

    Abstract: In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that's been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, herbicide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won't go bad, but we also have new strains of e coli--the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults. Featuring interviews with such experts as Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma) along with forward thinking social entrepreneurs like Stonyfield Farm's Gary Hirshberg and Polyface Farms' Joel Salatin, Food, Inc. reveals surprising -- and often shocking truths -- about what we eat, how it's produced, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from here.
