“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.
Every year, six friends gather in the woods to light a campfire—a tradition that begins as a simple reunion. But beneath the laughter and shared memories lies a deeper purpose: to honor the memory of a seventh friend who is no longer with them.
