Jackson Center To Screen Film Friday

The Robert H. Jackson Center will host a free screening of Nathan-ism on Friday, June 6, at 6 p.m. at the center, 305 E. Fourth St., Jamestown.

Admission is free and open to the public.

Nathan-ism is a documentary that follows Nathan Hilu, a Jewish U.S. soldier assigned to guard Nazi war criminals during the Nuremberg Trials, and traces how those experiences shaped his life and his art. The film weaves together animation, interviews, and Hilu’s outsider-art drawings.

Following the screening, filmmaker Elan Golod will join the audience for a discussion on the making of the film and the process of translating Hilu’s memories into a visual narrative. Guests will also have the opportunity to view original Nathan Hilu artwork on display, made possible through the Rabbi Jessica Spitalnic Mates of Temple Beth El of Boca Raton.

The film contains depictions of wartime experiences that may be intense or emotionally affecting.

The program is free and open to the public, sponsored by the Chautauqua County Industrial Development Agency’s Live CHQ initiative and Jackson Center donors. Registration and additional information are available at https://www.roberthjackson.org/event/movie-night-atrhjc-nathan-ism.

Starting at $3.50/week.
