This unmissable film season looks at the legacy of the Holocaust today-
at Jews and other victims, at perpetrators, rescuers and bystanders. It
explores issues such as denial, racism, discrimination , and the rise of
the Right.

The week consists of over 50 films and 6 discussions with an outstanding
assembly of film makers, historians, writers, journalists, and medical
ethicists. Many directors (including Claude Lanzmann) will speak after

COMPETITION WINNERS & AWARDS PRESENTATION
OUT OF THAT DARKNESS INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENTARY COMPETITION
First-time and established directors were asked to submit films
(completed since 1996) addressing the complex legacy of the Holocaust in
an age of genocide. They were encouraged to treat the broader issues of
discrimination and persecution in a compelling and innovative way. The
enormous number of entries exceeded our expectations, and attest to the
importance of this particular area of filmmaking, which poses a very
special set of challenges. The award for first-time director is £34,000,
and for the open category, £36,000. Thanks to all who entered, and
congratulations to the two winners!

6pm Cinema 1
Discussion follows ALL MY LOVED ONES (see Film Listings)
With director Matej Minac, Nicholas Winton, Vera Gissing and others
8.30pm Cinema 1

If I am not for myself, what am I?
Closing Event: RESCUERS & RESCUED
In an age of continuing genocide, the individual can still make a
difference, as those who risk their lives to rescue others can testify.
Both rescuers and rescued will tell their amazing personal stories. But
can rescue extend beyond individuals to a whole culture? An exciting new
project explores this possibility.

Afficher un texte sur le Web équivaut à mettre un document sur le rayonnage d'une bibliothèque publique. Cela nous coûte un peu d'argent et de travail. Nous pensons que c'est le lecteur volontaire qui en profite et nous le supposons capable de penser par lui-même. Un lecteur qui va chercher un document sur le Web le fait toujours à ses risques et périls. Quant à l'auteur, il n'y a pas lieu de supposer qu'il partage la responsabilité des autres textes consultables sur ce site. En raison des lois qui instituent une censure spécifique dans certains pays (Allemagne, France, Israël, Suisse, Canada, et d'autres), nous ne demandons pas l'agrément des auteurs qui y vivent car ils ne sont pas libres de consentir.
