Imaginary Witness at the MFA

January 2 - January 17 Beginning January 2, with 5 screenings through January 17, The Boston Jewish Film Festival and the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) Film Program are pleased to present the Boston release of Danieil Anker's Imaginary Witness: Hollywood AND THE Holocaust. Directed by Academy Award®-nominated and Emmy-winning director Daniel Anker (Scottsboro: An American Tragedy, BJFF2000), Imaginary Witness explores the ways American movies shape our perception of the Holocaust. Using rarely seen footage; first-hand accounts by directors, actors, writers, and producers; and clips from such films as The Great Dictator, The Pawnbroker, Sophie’s Choice, and Schindler’s List, the film examines Hollywood’s complex responses to the horrors of Nazi Germany.
