Life in Poland Before the Holocaust: Preview Screening of Three Minutes A Lengthening
About the Event:
Join CHF for a preview screening of Three Minutes — A Lengthening, a film essay examining a 1938 home video that comprises the only known footage of Nasielsk, Poland’s Jewish inhabitants before the Holocaust. Directed by Bianca Stigter (12 Years a Slave), co-produced by Steve McQueen, and narrated by Helena Bonham Carter, Three Minutes is a meditation on the nature of time, scarcity, survival, memory, and film itself. Join CHF for an afternoon about how this brief, private record uncovered a lost piece of public history.
Watch the trailer for Three Minutes — A Lengthening and read the New York Times review "A Film Captures Jewish Life in a Polish Town Before the Nazis Arrived."
