IN THE HOLY FIRE OF REVOLUTION (US premiere)
Monday, 15 June 2009, 6:30pm
The Film Society of Lincoln Center, Walter Reade Theater
West 65th Street, between Broadway & Amsterdam Aves on the upper level
IN THE HOLY FIRE OF REVOLUTION (US premiere)
Masha Novikova—Netherlands—2008—113m—doc
In Russian with English subtitles
A unique take on Putin’s Russia as seen through the experiences of chess champion turned activist Garry Kasparov.
Garry Kasparov has just been detained for hours at an airport on his way to a demonstration. Why? The chess master has started a second life, in politics. Foreign photographers repeatedly portray him in a chess pose, head in hands, staring at a fictitious chessboard. But the game is unfair, because now his opponent is Vladimir Putin. The Kremlin systematically sabotages the activities of Kasparov and his party, The Other Russia. The film is a must-see for anyone who wants to know what Russia looks like today.
This film is presented by The Human Rights Watch International Film Festival

Look Into My Eyes (US Premiere)
Sunday, 21 June 2009, 2:00pm
The Film Society of Lincoln Center, Walter Reade Theater
West 65th Street, between Broadway & Amsterdam Aves on the upper level
Naftaly Gliksberg—Israel —2008—80m—doc
In English and French, German, Hebrew, and Polish with English subtitles
Is anti-Semitism a buzz-word for all kinds of real or imagined slights? Is it an arcane expression that should be retired, or is there legitimacy to outcries worldwide that anti-Semitism is again on the rise?
Filmmaker Naftaly Gliksberg sets out to investigate what anti-Semitism looks like today, crossing two continents to see how people react to direct questions about their attitudes toward Jews, Israel, and the notion that there is such a thing as anti-Semitism. It is a startling personal journey of painful discoveries as he explores representations and impressions of Jews and Israelis around the world. As he visits individuals in Poland, France, the United States, and Germany, Gliksberg discovers that people’s responses to his pointed questions are often a mixture of their own culture, some version of history, and a certain collective psychology.
This film is presented by the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival in association with 92YTribeca, www.92YTribeca.org, The Harriman Institute, www.harrimaninstitute.org and the Margaret Mead Film & Video Festival, www.amnh.org/mead
