Director Ari Folman documents his quest to explore the memory gaps surrounding his service with the Israeli army.
Utilizing vivid black-and-white animation, this Golden Globe winner for Best Foreign Language Film probes Folman's military service in the Lebanese war of the early 1980s. In several story vignettes based on recorded interviews with colleagues and friends, Folman explores the horrors of war and the curious coping mechanisms that mankind uses to survive and function under brutal circumstances.
The film will be followed by a conversation with Ari Folman, the maker of the film and Academy Award nominee.
Parking is $8. Please enter the USC campus through Gate 4 on Jefferson Boulevard.
