Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire

“Eighty years after his liberation from Buchenwald, we seek to understand the man behind Elie Wiesel's searing and widely read memoir Night. Told largely through his own words and eloquent voice, Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire seeks to penetrate to the heart of the known and unknown Elie Wiesel (1928-2016)—his passions, his conflicts and his legacy as one of the most public survivors of the trauma of the Holocaust. With unique access to personal archives, original interviews and employing hand painted animation, the film illuminates Wiesel’s biography as a survivor, writer, teacher, public figure and Nobel Peace Prize winner.”

The Day Iceland Stood Still

Documentary by Pamela Hogan and Hrafnhildur Gunnarsdóttir about the Women's Day Off in Iceland. When 90% of the women of Iceland walked off the job and out of their homes one fall morning in 1975 refusing to work, cook, or take care of the children, they brought their country to a standstill and catapulted Iceland to the “best place in the world to be a woman.” “We loved our male chauvinist pigs,” recalls one of the activists, “We just wanted to change them a little!” Directed by Emmy award-winning US filmmaker Pamela Hogan in collaboration with acclaimed Icelandic producer Hrafnhildur Gunnarsdóttir.
