“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 films: Roma and The Sixth Campfire.


Sixteen-year-old Roma Gutman, a Ukrainian war refugee, struggles to adapt to his new life abroad. While he clings to the promise of the future, his father remains anchored to the past, dreaming of returning home.
