THE MEMORY THIEF

Post-screening discussion with Gil Kofman, led by Dr Ferzina Banaji (Lucy Cavendish, Cambridge / Institute of Holocaust Studies, Washington DC)
THE MEMORY THIEF, written and directed by Gil Kofman
Blazing a trail of heated debate at Festivals across the USA, this audacious thriller provokes reflection about the Holocaust through the engrossing tale of a young man?s search for meaning and identity. Lukas is an aimless, haunted young tollbooth clerk in contemporary L.A. A chance encounter with a Holocaust survivor suddenly brings into focus a world and an identity he embraces with frightening intensity - the victimized Jews of World War II. Kofman?s striking film confronts the horror of the Nazi genocide while continually interrogating the way collective memory and forgetting of the events are mediated through film.
