Live Discussion with Film Star

Jesse Eisenberg and Directors

Jonathan & Claudine Jakubowicz 

Monday, August 3, 7:00pm

Join actor Jesse Eisenberg and directors Jonathan & Claudine Jakubowicz for a presentation and Q & A session about Resistance, a film based on the incredible true story of legendary mime Marcel Marceau’s work with the French Resistance to save tens of thousands of orphans during the Holocaust. Long before he rose to international fame as a mime, Marcel Marceau put his fledgling career as an artist on hold to spirit Jewish refugee children out of Nazi-occupied France, even as his own father was murdered at Auschwitz. Watch the trailer here.

This event is presented in partnership with IFC Films and Tamar Simon from Mean Streets Management.
