This tribute, 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’s films move lyrically through landscapes, collective myths, and intimate narratives that shape humans’ ways of being together.
