A brilliant series of
six films spanning the early 1900s to 1945 in France. Meet all those amazing
artists, including Malraux, Matisse, Cocteau, Soutine, Picasso, Apolinaire, Max Jacobs, Gide, Modigliani, Stein and more. Witness the suffering, sacrifice, free thinking and commitment to freedom that
cost several of them their lives. Did you know that Sartre and de Beauvoire cycled
from Paris to Southern France to win supporters from their friends against the Nazis?
Old black and white film clips with animations superimposed bring back to life
the startling lives of these bohemian geniuses. Literati and painters left
their inspiring mark on the world. The
series graphically brings to the lens the wars which devastated these Jewish
artists. (Screened at FIFA)
