SUMMARY:"UnBroken" Film Screening & Conversation with the Director
DESCRIPTION:In honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 81st anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz in 1945\, the Dole Institute and the Lawrence Arts Center invite you to experience Beth Lane’s award-winning documentary\, UnBroken. Following the screening\, Lane will join Free State Film Festival founding director Marlo Angell for a brief question-and-answer session. \nThis screening is made possible by The Weber Family Arts Foundation \n  \nAbout the film\nThe daughter of a Holocaust survivor embarks on an international quest to uncover answers about the plight of her mother and her six siblings who\, as mere children\, escaped Nazi Germany relying solely on their own youthful bravado and the kindness of German strangers. \nRuntime: 96 minutes\, followed by 30 minutes of moderated and audience question-and-answer sessions \nContent warning: This film contains mature themes – including sexual assault and abuse – that may not be suitable for all viewers.\n  \nAbout Beth Lane\nBeth Lane is the award-winning director\, executive producer and writer of the feature documentary film\, UnBroken. An actress\, singer and dancer\, she is a second-generation Holocaust survivor. Beth’s driving force has always been to create spaces to exercise our collective capacity for empathy through storytelling\, design and meditation. Building bridges for a better future is paramount to her work. \nA keynote speaker\, she has curated and served on panels nationwide & hosted over 40 episodes of a weekly Instagram Live on-camera podcast\, Banter with Beth. \nThe World Premiere of UnBroken was awarded Best Documentary Feature Film for Beth’s directorial debut in Indianapolis at The 23rd Heartland International Film Festival in 2023\, which took place on October 8th\, 2023\, one day after the terrorist organization Hamas attacked Israel in the worst genocide against the Jewish people since the Holocaust. \nUnBroken has continued to win Audience Choice Awards at the River Run Int’l Film Festival\, Julien Dubuque Int’l Film Festival and The Berkshire Int’l Film Festival. Beth also received the Best First Time Filmmaker Award at Hot Springs Int’l Women’s Film Festival and the Madelyn’s Choice Award at the Rocky Mountain Women’s Film Festival in 2024 as well as the Runner-Up Audience Choice Best Doc at Orcas Island Film Festival. \nUnBroken began its development at The Barrow Group in New York City as a one-woman play which morphed into a simple piece of live storytelling at TBG’s F.A.B before continuing its journey at UCLA’s School of Theatre\, Film & Television in 2017 while she was studying to receive her MFA. The film is both a professional milestone and a personal quest to immortalize the incredible story of the Weber siblings’ survival as the only family of seven Jewish siblings living in Nazi Germany known to have survived and emigrated together. The unwavering courage shown by the brave righteous gentiles\, as well as the original music\, graphics and animations employed in Beth’s storytelling\, are critical components to her style as a director. \nBeth is the founder of The Weber Family Arts Foundation which is the culmination of many thoughtful years of experience as an artist and activist serving on philanthropic boards and volunteering. The mission of WFAF is to combat antisemitism\, bigotry and hate by driving awareness\, engagement and activism through the arts\, across a wide variety of mediums\, by sharing stories of hope. UnBroken is The Weber Family Arts Foundation’s inaugural project.
