SKIN: 2019 Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film Thursday,
January 23 6:30 PM $18 On the stage at the Academy Awards in February
2019, Israeli director Guy Nattiv accepted his Oscar for Best Live
Action Short invoking his grandparents, who are Holocaust survivors.
“The bigotry they experienced . . . we see that everywhere today,”
he said. “This film . . . is about teaching your kids a better
way.” Skin, a short bio-drama set in the United States, is a
powerful parable about a neo-Nazi skinhead and his son, about the sins
of a father and the awakening of a child. It is a lesson in history
repeating itself in different guises. Join us for a screening of the
film followed by a discussion of that lesson and what it was like for
Nattiv to be the first Israeli to take home an Academy Award in 41
years. With: Guy Nattiv, Director/Producer, Skin Jaime Ray Newman,
Producer, Skin Daryle Lamont Jenkins, Executive Director, One
People’s Project Moderated by Dr. Eric Goldman, author of The
American Jewish Story through Cinema and cohosted the Turner Classic
Movies series, The Projected Image: The Jewish Experience on Film. He
is an adjunct professor of cinema at Yeshiva University and teaches
