2. Barbara Hammer, FF Alumn, new film wins prize at Global Peace Film Festival.
Barbara Hammer, FF Alumn, new documentary film RESISTING PARADISE won a prize at the Global Peace Film Festival for being the film that most exemplified the principals of the festival that nations should be able to resolve problems without resorting to war. The festival writes:
Beautifully shot and exceptionally edited, Barbara Hammer’s experimental documentary juxtaposes the lives of painters Henri Matisse and Pierre Bonnard during World War II with those of several French Resistance fighters and the Jewish refugees they helped. Using exerpts from the artists’ letters to each other as voiceover, along with interviews of the Jewish survivors and elderly Resistance fighters, Hammer creates a complex multilayered portrait of life during the Second World War in the south of France.
