The archive movie6/6/2023 ![]() So the more grounding you have and the more detail you have, the better.”Īndrew Garfield, Daisy Edgar-Jones to Star in Carl Sagan Biopic From Sebastián Lelio Taking on the idea of a robot builder and engineer in the future in Japan, you’re trying to find the links between yourself and the character, and sometimes, it’s harder than it would normally be with other characters. The more detail you have as an actor, the more anchors you have to ground the performance in some semblance of reality. “In terms of detail, was very on it, and I really love that. But here, every piece of costume and furniture had a real place in his vision,” James tells The Hollywood Reporter. I’ve done films in the past where there was a semblance of sci-fi but it was added on. For James, Rothery’s immersive set and attention to detail - including practical robots - made all the difference as far as his performance was concerned. ![]() ![]() James plays George Almore, a grieving robotics engineer who’s developing a true human-equivalent AI in an effort to reunite with his deceased wife, Jules (Stacy Martin). Two excellent sources for Jewish video and film are Ergo Media (Teaneck, NJ) and the National Center for Jewish Film (Brandeis University, Waltham, MA).Theo James has had several rendezvous with genre films the past decade, but his latest sci-fi entry, Gavin Rothery’s Archive, was his most rewarding experience yet. Note: YIVO does not rent out or distribute Yiddish movies or any other films. Due to a high volume of inquiries it may take up to a week to receive a response.

The other large body of material in the YIVO Film Archives is the movies made in the 1940s-1960s by Jewish social welfare agencies such as HIAS, the United Service for New Americans, and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. The Film Archive also includes two professionally shot films of prewar Jewish Poland that were commissioned by landsmanshaftn (immigrant mutual aid societies): "A Pictorial Review of Kolbuszowa" (1929) and an untitled film about Szediszow (1935). In 2011, Yeshiva University Museum featured these films in an exhibition, 16mm Postcards. These amateur films constitute rare motion picture records of Jewish life in Eastern Europe. The films depict over 25 shtetlekh and smaller towns (mostly in Poland and Lithuania), as well as major Jewish population centers such as Warsaw, Lodz, Cracow, and Vilna. The most frequently consulted materials in the Film Archives are the approximately 75 home movies made by American Jews during trips to Eastern Europe in the 1920s-30s. The Film Archives also contains videotapes, most of which are viewing copies of its films. The mostly 16mm and 8mm films in the collection tend to fall into two genres: amateur (home movies) and industrial (community relations films made by Jewish aid organizations). A high proportion of the films in YIVO's small Film Archive are unique or rare items.
