OTHER
Abraham Ravett repeatedly interviewed his mother about the 1945 death march from Auschwitz. Her fragmented, incomplete memories make up this emotional document which is as much about the need to forget as the need to know.
—Kathy Geritz, Irina Leimbacher
FACTOID #176
Hordes of screaming teenagers were fascinated with the Rolling Stones, but so were influential imagemakers Jean-Luc Godard and Robert Frank. The SFIFF has screened three different films with the Rolling Stones as the main subject: Godard’s Sympathy for the Devil (SFIFF 1972), Frank’s Cocksucker Blues (SFIFF 1998) and the IMAX documentary At the Max (SFIFF 1991).
