Melting Siberia

Tues., Nov. 3 at 5:00 pm

"A testament to the power of movies in achieving not just the illusion but also the reality of reconciliation and atonement." (Boston Phoenix)

In his first feature, Haar documents the trip that he and his mother took to Siberia in search of her father, a Red Army hero who abandoned his wife when she was pregnant -- and was never heard from again. Filmed with amazing candor, this revelatory documentary examines an emotional reconciliation after a lifetime of heartbreak. Special Mention, Jerusalem Film Festival. Ido Haar. 2004. 72 m. NR. Israel, Hebrew with subtitles.

Q&A with International Filmmaker-in-Residence Ido Haar, followed by a reception in the Jane Peck Gallery
