“Watching Walter” and “The Woman from Hamburg” offer true accounts of occupied Poland in the 1940s; the first is a personal portrayal of triumph over tragedy and the second is a female-focused portrait of grief and intergenerational trauma. “The Well” showcases a rare and important tale of Sephardic Jewish survivors from Veria, Northern Greece - one of the many forgotten stories of the genocide. Also includes the Murray Galinson San Diego-Israel Initiative (MGSDII) Emerging Israeli Filmmaker Artist in Residence short films: Roma and The Sixth Campfire.
In 1943, Regina, a young Jewish woman, finds refuge in the closet of a Polish couple, Barbara and Jan. As the threat of discovery looms, Regina and Barbara must make unimaginable sacrifices to survive — decisions that will reverberate through the lives of their daughters and granddaughters for generations to come. Mature themes.
