About the event
Join us as we host the screening of The Wild one, a Documentary, in honor of May being Jewish American Heritage Month.
It illuminates the journey of an unsung artist, Jack Garfein – Holocaust survivor, celebrated Broadway director, Actors Studio West co-founder, and controversial filmmaker. The film delves into how his experience in the concentration camps shaped his vision of acting as a survival mechanism and propelled his engagement with themes of violence, power, and racism in postwar America in two explosive films. It examines the importance of his legacy as an artist who confronted censorship and reveals how art can draw on personal memory to better enlighten our present.
