NOW STREAMING: Nathan-ism
At the end of World War II, Nathan Hilu, the son of Syrian Jewish immigrants to New York, received a life-changing assignment from the U.S. Army: to guard the top Nazi war criminals at the Nuremberg trials. This experience fueled a lifetime of artistic inspiration for Nathan, a virtually unknown âoutsider artistâ, who spent the next 70 years obsessively creating a visual narrative from his memories. But what happens when those memories take on a life of their own?
Filmmaker Elan Golod proposes a documentary portrait of the aging artist but what begins as a peek at a unique witness to history grows into an absorbing study of the function of art as archive and invention. Daring to question an artistâs stories, "Nathan-ism" is a fascinating look at one manâs need to share truths with a world that doesnât always want to listen.

NOW STREAMING: How to Make Challah
From the director:
In 1975, my aunt Jane filmed her 97-year-old immigrant grandmother baking challah in her tiny kitchen on the Upper West Side. In 2022, I continued this ritual by filming my aunt Jane (now 80) baking challah herself for the first time. The film moves between the 1975 tape of my great-grandmother and the 2022 tape of my aunt Jane, plus archival footage from Jewish life at the turn of the 20th century. The film documents generations of women performing this cultural-religious ritual a half century apart, highlighting the age-old significance of conversation between generations of women in the kitchen. It shows how much a day of baking bread can reveal about class, culture, family, history, and womenâs expanding freedom in America. Most of all, the film is about what we pass on to the next generation and what we leave behind.
