You are cordially invited to a complimentary four-day tribute film festival dedicated to Nurith Aviv.

Nurith Aviv’s works investigate language and move lyrically through the landscapes, collective myths, and intimate narratives that shape humans’ ways of being together. Moving from her personal experience of growing up among many languages, she reflects on the mystery of how sound and meaning come together, travel through different alphabets, and shape the human psyche.

This tribute is the fruit of a collaboration between the Fordham University Center for Jewish Studies, the Primo Levi Center, and the Fordham Center on Religious and Culture, is the first of its kind in New York City. It will gather long-time Aviv fans, newcomers to her work, and lovers of language from all backgrounds to celebrate through images and words this exceptional director as she turns 80.

Nurith Aviv, the first woman to be a director of photography in France, she has shot 100 fiction and documentary films with directors such as Agnès Varda, Amos Gitai, René Allio, and Jacques Doillon.

She has received important prizes, including the Edouard Glissant Prize (2009) and the Grand Prix de l’Académie française (2019). Her works have been shown in multiple retrospectives in Paris, including a week-long one last month.Her works have been shown in multiple retrospectives in Paris, including a week-long one last month.
