Join a group of BHV members for a screening of the film Nathan-ism hosted at the MFA. This screening is a part of the Boston Jewish Film Festival.

Directed by Elan Golod (USA, 2023, 79 min.). English and German with English subtitles. Boston premiere.

At the end of World War II, 19-year-old Nathan Hilu, the son of Syrian Jewish immigrants, received a life-changing assignment from the US Army: guard the top Nazi war criminals at the Nuremberg trials. This experience fueled a lifetime of artistic inspiration for Hilu, a virtually unknown “outsider artist,” who spent the next 70 years obsessively creating a visual narrative from his memories. But what happens when those memories take on a life of their own? Delving into the nature of an artist’s stories, Nathan-ism is a fascinating look at one man’s need to share truths with a world that doesn’t always want to listen.

Immediately following the screening there will be a conversation with director Elan Golod.

$15 per ticket. Registration is required. Limited capacity.
