Part of the film: The Ripple Project: ONE
An artist paces through his color filled studio, images of pop icons and hyper realistic depiction of ironic reality are scattered throughout. Marc Dennis, a New York painter, pains away at his next creation while drowning in a memory of a lost freind, Dina, a Shoah survivor; which Marc interviewed before she passed away. Dina's voice swell as we begin to see a clandestine painting that Marc has been working on.
Part of The Ripple Project: ONE film.
A friend’s reflection reveals more than a looking glass.
Renowned artist and clandestine Holocaust art scholar Marc Dennis interviews survivor Dina Jacobson, whose tranquil facade betrays an incomprehensible knowledge. Set in the bucolic village of Elmira in upstate New York, Marc’s inquisitive nature and Dina’s surreptitious life are revealed and reflected upon through days of frenzied conversation and the knowing silence of friends.
Dina is one of six survivors interviewed by Marc, each story more complex and unique than the one before...
Filmmaker Liron Unreich follows Marc, as both artist attempt to create a multi-media musuem installation based on these six interviews. A journey that will take them across the United States and the Atlantic. As each survivor shares his or hers life and precious days, the two artists try to capture an enduring portrait of survival, spirit, strength and inspiration to be shared with generations to come.
