Vishniac (2023)
From the cosmopolitan streets of pre-war Berlin to the shtetls in Poland and Lithuania to the Princeton offices of Albert Einstein, This documentary about Roman Vishniac takes viewers on a journey, through the lens of one of the foremost photographers of the 20th century. Difficult and flamboyant, Vishniac captured iconic images of Jewish life, from the cafes of pre-war Berlin to the shtetls of Eastern Europe. But it would be up to his daughter to preserve his legacy. Directed by Laura Bialis with commentary by Bradley Brennan, Judy Hodara and Declan Knappenberger. 1hr 34min
