JUNE ZERO
The Saturday, July 6th 7 PM screening will feature a discussion with filmmaker Jake Paltrow in-person
The 1961 trial of Adolf Eichmann, architect of the mass
murder of the Jews during the Holocaust, is revisited in a gripping and
surprising new vision from American filmmaker Jake Paltrow (The Good Night).
This Hebrew-language drama—based on true accounts—tells its story from the
intertwined perspectives of three largely unrelated figures: Eichmann’s Jewish
Moroccan prison guard; an Israeli police investigator for the prosecution and a
Holocaust survivor; and a 13-year-old Jewish Libyan immigrant.
Largely shot on
16mm film, Paltrow’s vividly textured work uses these disparate points of view
to paint an image of the diasporic Jewish people and, in its unorthodox
narrative approach, reminds us that the same histories are experienced
differently by people all over the world, and we are connected through shared
traumatic pasts. (Israel/USA, 2022, 105
