Never Forget to Lie
SPECIAL EVENT SCREENING WITH DIRECTOR MARIAN MARZYNSKI
About the Film:
Emmy Award winning filmmaker Marian Marzynski was born in Poland and survived the Holocaust as a Jewish child hidden by Christians. In Never Forget to Lie, the most recent of Marzynski's critically-lauded autobiographical films, the director explores his own wartime childhood and the experiences of other child survivors, teasing out their feelings about Poland, the Catholic Church, and the ramifications of identities forged under circumstances where survival began with the directive "never forget to lie."
Marzynski began his 40-year career as a journalist and popular television show host in Poland. A wry observer of life and a pioneer of European cinéma-vérité, Marzynski, has worked alongside Roman Polanski and taught many American filmmakers including Gus Van Sant. In addition to his landmark documentary Shtetl, Marzynski's films include Settlement and dozens of films broadcast on PBS's Frontline and European TV. More |

How to Re-Establish a Vodka Empire
LIMITED THEATRICAL RUN
How to Re-Establish a Vodka Empire comes to the MFA following January film screenings at the Gene Siskel Stranger Than Fiction Doc Fest in Chicago and the New York, Philadelphia & Washington D.C. Jewish Film Festivals.
About the Film:
British filmmaker Daniel Edelstyn became mildly obsessed after discovering his grandmother’s journals in the attic of his family home. Maroussia Zorokovich, born into a wealthy Ukrainian Jewish family, was a budding writer and dancer before the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution rewrote her destiny and sent her into exile. When Edelstyn travels to the Ukraine in search of his roots and discovers that the vodka distillery opened by his great grandfather in 1904 is still in operation, he decides—despite his utter lack of business experience—to become a liquor entrepreneur and import the vodka to the UK. This funny, charming documentary employs an ambitious mixture of vérité cinematography and inventive animated sequences created by and starring the artist Hilary Powell (Edelstyn’s wife). More |

Mahler on the Couch
LIMITED THEATRICAL RUN - BOSTON AREA PREMIERE
Mahler on the Couch comes to the Coolidge following extended limited theatrical runs at the Film Society of Lincoln Center and the Gene Siskel Center in Chicago.
About the Film:
This exuberant imagining of the real-life marriage of Gustav Mahler (Johannes Silberschneider) and his tempestuous wife Alma Schindler Mahler (the luminous Barbara Romaner) is a sensory feast of art, sex and celebrity in fin-de-siècle Vienna. Chafing under her agreement to give up her own musical ambitions, Alma seeks passion in the arms of the young, dashing architect Walter Gropius, which sends a tormented Mahler to Sigmund Freud for consultation. “Cameos” by Gustav Klimt and Max Burckhard. Moving and funny (the sessions with Freud are sly gems) the film is filled with Mahler’s sublime music conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen. Beautifully written and directed by Percy Adlon (Bagdad Café) and his son Felix Adlon. More |

This Ancient Law (Das alte Gesetz)
1923 German Silent Film
World premiere performance
of original electronic musical score by Thomas Köner
First screening in USA since 1924
The film will be introduced by Veronika Fuechtner, Dartmouth College
About the Film:
Das Alte Gesetz (1923) is a rarely screened film by one of the greatest German directors of the silent film era, E. A. Dupont, who also directed the much acclaimed 1925 film, Variety. Das alte Gesetz tells the story of Baruch Mayr, the son of an orthodox rabbi from Galicia, who decides to break from the family tradition and leave the shtetl to become an actor in Vienna. The film is notable not only for Dupont’s distinctive visual technique style, but also for its evocative depiction of Jewish life and the atmosphere of Viennese theater. (Germany, 128 min.) Silent with German and English intertitles
About the Music:
The score by Thomas Köner was specially commissioned by the Goethe-Institut Boston. This will be its world premiere performance.
Thomas Köner is a pioneering multimedia artist whose main interest is the combining of visual and auditory experiences. Over his long, celebrated career, he has moved between installation work, sound art, minimal soundscapes, and (as one half of Porter Ricks) gloriously repetitive dub techno. The themes that run through his music — concepts of time and subtle shifts in sound color — also extend to his work as photographer, video installation artist, and internet artist.
Köner attended the music college in Dortmund and studied electronic music at the CEM-Studio in Arnhem. Until 1994 he worked for the film industry as editor and sound engineer. In the early 1990s he started to compose film soundtracks and music to accompany historic silent films for the Louvre Museum and the Musée d’Orsay, Paris. Thomas Köner has been nominated for the 2012 Naim Jun Paik award. |

This is Your Life: Holocaust Stories
 UCLA FESTIVAL OF PRESERVATION
Special program of 3 newly restored episodes of the NBC 1950s television program This is Your Life which featured Holocaust survivors
One of American television's most popular programs, This Is Your Life paid tribute to hundreds of notable people on NBC from 1952 until 1961. Hosted by the effervescent Ralph Edwards, the show featured famous sports figures, musicians and actors (including 23 Oscar winners), but also ordinary people who had overcome tremendous obstacles. Among the "regular" people profiled, were three women who had survived the Holocaust.
UCLA Film Archive has restored these these much discussed but rarely seen shows. Broadcast in 1953, 1955 and 1961, these episodes of This Is Your Life predate even the use of the term Holocaust "Survivor." The 1953 episode profiling Hanna Bloch Kohner is perhaps the first time the story of a Holocaust survivor was broadcast on American television.
"It may come as a surprise to learn that the Holocaust was not ignored on American television in the early postwar years...Today, viewers of this and the other episodes of This Is Your Life that deal with the Holocaust might find them strange, but they are also intriguing. These telecasts challenge some widely held assumptions about how Americans first learned about the Holocaust and about the nature of television during its early years. Indeed, watching these episodes can be an uncanny experience," -- Jeffrey Shandler
Three 30-Minute Episodes of This is Your Life
Screened in 35mm
This is Your Life: "Hanna Bloch Kohner" (NBC, 5/27/1953)

Being Jewish in France (Comme un Juif en France)
LIMITED THEATRICAL RUN OF THE HIT DOCUMENTARY
CELEBRATION OF FRANCOPHONE MONTH
Being Jewish in France comes to the MFA following its wildly successful limited theatrical runs at the Film Society of Lincoln Center, the Gene Siskel Center in Chicago, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Yves Jeuland's sweeping new documentary explores the rich and complex history of Jews in France, the first country to grant Jews citizenship. Beginning with Revolutionary cries of Vive la France in Yiddish, the film explores the explosive Dreyfus Affair, the Vichy government's collaboration with the Nazis, and the absorption of Sephardic Jews from Arab countries in the decades after WWII. Being Jewish in France confidently continues into the 21st century, investigating charges of rising antisemitism and the county's complex attitudes toward Israel. Narrated by Mathieu Amalric, star of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.

TWO SCREENINGS AS PART OF SERIES
GOTTA DANCE: THE AMERICAN MOVIE MUSICAL 1929-1953
Leo Fuchs, the "Yiddish Fred Astaire," stars in this musical comedy as Nat Silver, a debonair and wealthy Jewish-American businessman whose recent engagement (his eighth) goes awry. Ulmer’s last Yiddish movie was also his most modern, an art deco romantic comedy about male ambivalence and Jewish assimilation.
Gotta Dance: The American Movie Musical 1929-1953 is a survey of the American film musical, a genre whose uniquely American exuberance and optimism entertained audiences through the dark years of the Great Depression and reached its apex in the 1940s and 50s.
