SUMMARY:Artist Reception with Maya Nadison

It teaches\, it empowers\, and it sparks change. \n\n\n\nComplimentary admission | RSVP required

SUMMARY:JXJ BEST OF THE FEST - "Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire"
DESCRIPTION:Location: Cinema Arts Theatre\, Fairfax\, VA \n\n\n\nThe Pozez JCC in Partnership with Edlavitch DCJCC is thrilled to present JxJ BEST OF THE FEST: Monthly Film Screenings at Cinema Arts Theatre! We kick off this series in September with the movie: “Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire.” \n\n\n\nTold largely through his own words and eloquent voice\, this film 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. This film sold out at the JxJ 2025 Film & Music Festival in May! \n\n\n\nELIE WIESEL: SOUL ON FIRE | Dir. Oren Rudavsky | 2024 | United States | 87 min“With his unforgettable and shattering 1958 memoir “Night\,” Elie Wiesel forever changed how the Holocaust would be written about. A survivor of Auschwitz and Buchenwald as a teenager\, the Romanian-born Wiesel became an international spokesperson and renowned author\, eloquently transforming his trauma into literature of the highest and most profound order. In this enthralling new documentary\, filmmaker Oren Rudavsky goes deeper into Wiesel’s philosophically abundant inner life\, depicted with nuance and tenderness\, and enriched by access to his archives. In many ways a private man despite being one of the most public voices of Holocaust remembrance\, Wiesel is presented here in newly intimate ways known only to his closest friends. ” ‘Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire’ stands as a crucial testament to an extraordinary man who helped shape our collective memory of the darkest chapter of the 20th century.” New York Jewish Film FestivalTicket Price: $15Tickets can be purchased in-person or online at Cinema Arts Theatre:Questions?
