Join us for the European premiere of the documentary "Samuel Bak, Fragments/Hope". With this screening, we celebrate the ninth anniversary of the Samuel Bak Museum.
In his daughter Daniela Bak’s film, the artist Samuel Bak reflects on how he developed his distinctive visual language. His account is accompanied by paintings, archival footage and excerpts from his memoir Painted in Words. Bak also recalls his childhood in the Vilnius Ghetto, where he held his first exhibition at the age of nine, and how he and his mother survived the Holocaust. Through his work, the film asks what art can help us preserve and what can be rebuilt after loss.
Vilnius audiences will be the first in Europe to see the film. Five days later, on 22 November, it will be screened at the Mémorial de la Shoah in Paris.
Date and time: Tuesday, 17 November at 18:00
Location: Samuel Bak Museum, Naugarduko St. 10, Vilnius
The film will be screened in French with English subtitles. Running time – 41 minutes.
