Happy New Year!

The real start of the New Year for SFC – Shoah Film Collection will be January, 27 2013, the day of its foundation in 2010, the memorial day for the Liberation of the the Concentration Camp Auschwitz, which will be for all time the Memorial Day for the Re-birth of Humanity!

That’s the day, when SFC is launching each year the new call for entries for the next coming year.

Before it’s launch on 27 January, I am happy to announce the addition of the 51st video to the collection:

Those I Never Knew
by Elana Schwadron – Minkow
video by Doron Polak/Artists Museum/Israel

“I have lived most of my life ignorant of the fact
that some of my relatives died in the Holocaust.”

It is the story of the nearly forgotten roots of a vanished family.

SFC becomes the basis for CTF

Founded in 2010, SFC – Shoah Film Collection
had in the beginning just a slow, but in 2012 a rapid and successful development.

By introducing the event structure for presenting “SFC – Shoah Film Collection”,i.e. “A Virtual Memorial- Commemorative Interventions”, in 2012 the first three events took place in RIGA, Phnom Penh and Warsaw, resulting an extention of the thematic spectrum by including a new collection of documentaries about the Cambodian genocide 1975-1979, and consequently the creation of CTF – Collective Trauma Film Collections including SFC _ Shoah Film Collection as its basis.

At the end of 2012, CTF – Collective Trauma Film Collections are now representing another and the expanded international world-wide unique initiative by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne addressed to young generations of artists and film makers to deal with the topic of collective trauma caused by totalitarism by using new technologies and contemporary approaches in art in order to keep vivid the memory via art.

The first collection, SFC – Shoah Film Collection
is dedicated to the victims of Holocaust, but also other genocides
consisting of experimental films, videoart and documentaries

The second collection “Cambodia” -consisting of documentaries
is dealing with the Cambodian genocide 1975-1979
