An interview about Andor (2022)
|
|
Vitor Vilaverde Dias, a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, sat down with CLAS Spring Student Intern Ella Meyer to discuss his documentary, Andor. The film follows Andor Stern, the only Brazililian-born Holocaust survivor and how “his ideas of freedom and humanist way of living life were able to overcome the fear of living in a world with so much hate."
The film will be shown on Tues, April 25, 6-9 p.m. in 180 Hagerty Hall as part of the ongoing film series on Latin American subjectivities in contexts of conflict, and after the screening there will be a live Q&A with Vitor.
