THE INVISIBLES
Director: Claus Rafle, 2017 Germany, 100 Minutes, German (with English subtitles)
In June 1943, Germany, infamously declared Berlin Judenfrei - “free of Jews.” But at that moment there were still 7000 Jews living in the capital: hiding and protected by courageous Berliners, while desperately trying to avoid deportation. The Invisibles depicts the experiences of four young adult survivors (one a teenager), interweaving their testimony with highly accomplished dramatizations, an unusual hybrid approach that brings edge-of-the-seat suspense to their years spent underground.
SHOELACES
Director: Jacob Goldwasser, 2018 Israel, 90 minutes, Hebrew (with English subtitles)
In this award-winning Israeli family dramedy, surly mechanic Reuven takes in his exuberant adult special-needs son, Gadi, after his ex-wife’s untimely death. As Gadi becomes accustomed to life with Reuven and Reuven begins to enjoy parenthood, their world is turned upside down by Reuven’s failing kidneys. Gadi wants to donate one of his own kidney's to help save his father's life. However, the transplant committee objects. Furious, Gadi sets out to claim his right to do something meaningful, on his own, and help his father. Thoughtful, poignant, and unexpectedly funny, Shoelaces explores the complex relationships through the delicate lens of its special-needs hero.
