Lab Director Victoria Grace Richardson-Walden took part in a lively Q&A discussion with Jewish Film Festival founder and President Judy Ironside MBE at University of Sussex’s recent Holocaust Memorial Day event. The discussion focused on a screening of Letter to a Pig, an Oscar-nominated Israeli-French short film about intergenerational trauma that mixes live-action footage with 2d computer animation, painting, photography and rotoscoping. The making of the film, by director Tal Kantor, is available freely on YouTube.
