"So is this my new identity?
Am I a 'Brazilian'? Or 'a Latin American living in Europe'? Or 'the
daughter of a Holocaust survivor'?"
¨CAndr¨¦a Seligmann Silva,
Director
Andr¨¦a, a Brazilian
filmmaker living in Amsterdam, begins to explore she and her siblings'
impulse to leave their home country. From hours of conversation, she
derives a theme: their mother, who had a psychotic crisis. This
autobiographical film depicts one woman's search through her own history
of movements.

Critically-acclaimed
director Mieke Bal will make a special journey from the Netherlands to
host an interactive panel discussion on the intricate identity of the
Jewish migrant. Authentic Middle Eastern food will be provided by Sababa
prior to the screening. Guests may enter a raffle to win a dining gift
certificate!
