The ninth Boulder Jewish Film Festival is thrilled to pay tribute to documentary filmmaker Pierre Sauvage, as well as to honor his lifelong dedication to Holocaust education and memorialization, in a special six-program series. Described by Tablet Magazine as “a filmmaker of rare moral perception,” Sauvage has consistently probed questions of moral choice, focusing on the magnitude of humanity’s failure during the Holocaust by underscoring what it was possible to do.
Sauvage was honored in 2018 with similar retrospectives at the Paris Mémorial de la Shoah and in Le Chambon-sur-Lignon. The exclusive BJFF tribute program includes two special live events and four talkbacks. The closing event Q&A will focus on “
Dear Friends,
So much has happened since we were so rudely interrupted mid-festival last March! We are all a little worse for wear, but I hope this letter finds you and yours well – and looking forward to the 9th Annual Boulder Jewish Film Festival as much as I am.
The 2021 festival will be a virtual affair, and I wanted to let you know what that will look like. Luckily for us, dozens of festivals have pivoted to virtual since March, and we have had the benefit of their experience to draw on as we plan an exciting and user-friendly program for you. While we will miss gathering together at the Dairy to share a social cinematic experience, our online event offers many distinct advantages.

The trouble begins in Venice, the first stop on Erzsi and Mihály s honeymoon tour of Italy. Here Erzsi discovers that her new husband prefers wandering back alleys on his own to her company. The trouble picks up in Ravenna, where a hostile man zooms up on a motorcycle as the couple are sitting at an outdoor café. It s János, someone Mihály hasn t seen for years, and he wants Mihály to come with him in search of Ervin, their childhood friend. The trouble comes to a head when Mihály misses the train he and Erzsi are due to take to Rome. Off he goes across Italy, wandering from city to city, haunted and accosted by a strange array of figures from the troubled youth that he thought he had left behind: There are the charismatic siblings, Éva and Tamás, whose bizarre amateur theatricals linked sex and death forever in his mind; Ervin, a Jew turned Catholic monk who was his rival for Éva s love; and again, that ruffian on the motorcycle.
