Spielberg! Zoom Talk

Like the “Fellini-esque” Fellini and the “Hitchcockian” Hitchcock before him, Steven Spielberg is an artist whose work is so ubiquitous and instantly identifiable that his name has inspired its very own adjective: “Spielbergian.” One of the most commercially successful directors of all time, Spielberg is the creator of such beloved modern classics as JawsClose Encounters of the Third KindE.T., and the Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park series. In this FilmShul production, we examine the life and career of the grand storyteller, with a particular focus on his upbringing as an Orthodox Jew and his later Jewish re-awakening, which yielded such vital works as Schindler’s List and Munich. His interests have also inspired the creation of the Shoah and Righteous Persons Foundations.
