Screening | Tax Wars (2024): Documentary + Panel Discussion 


Enjoy a screening of the 2024 documentary Tax Wars, followed by a panel discussion with Nobel Laureate Professor Joseph E. Stiglitz and distinguished members of the Independent Commission for the Reform of International Corporate Taxation. Multinationals are masters in the art of tax dodging, depriving governments of precious tax revenues ($600 billion a year, according to the IMF). Tax Wars tells the story of a handful of high-flying experts’ fight to get multinationals to pay their taxes. These knights of tax justice helped write the agreement signed in 2021 by 136 states to impose a global minimum tax of 15% on the profits of multinationals. Citizen involvement can move the lines.

Screening | The Family Oppenheim (1938): Saviet Anti-Nazi Film (+ Discussion with Experts)


Experience the long-lost US premiere of The Family Oppenheim- a powerful Soviet-made anti-Nazi film written by acclaimed German-Jewish novelist Lion Feuchtwanger in collaboration with visionary Soviet Jewish filmmakers Grigorii and Serafima Roshal. Conceived in exile, censored in Britain, and banned in the United States, The Family Oppenheim, based on Feuchtwanger's 1933 novel, stands as one of the earliest cinematic warnings against Hitler's rise to power and fascism's brutal reshaping of Germany. Premiering internationally in the spring of 1939 but soon banned and forgotten for nearly nine decades, the film now returns to US screens - newly restored, translated, and subtitled through a remarkable student-led research project at the University of Oregon led by Miriam Chorley-Schulz. Experience a rediscovered masterpiece once banned by American censors - a work of resistance, vision, and urgency that still echoes powerfully today. Director: Grigori Roshal Cast: Vladimir Balashov, Iosif Tolchanov, Ada Voytsik, Nikolai Plotnikov Accompanying the screening, Miriam Chorley-Schulz (Holocaust Studies scholar at the University of Oregon) and Rossen Djagalov (Russian and Slavic Studies scholar with NYU) will have an illuminating conversation tracing the film's extraordinary journey from its complex conception to its celebrated 1938 Moscow premiere to decades of suppression, and finally, to its revival today.

Screening | Hannah Arendt: Facing Tyranny (2025): Documentary (+ FIlmmaker Discussion)


Hannah Arendt: Facing Tyranny takes a closer look at one of the most fearless political writers of modern times. Arendt came of age in Germany as Hitler rose to power, before escaping to the United States as a Jewish refugee. Through her unflinching capacity to demand attention to facts and reality, Arendt's time as a political prisoner, refugee, and survivor in Europe informed her groundbreaking insights into the human condition, the refugee crisis, and totalitarianism. Her major works, The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951), The Human Condition (1958), Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil (1963), On Revolution (1963), and Crises of the Republic (1972) remain among the most important and most-read treatises on the development and impact of totalitarianism and the fault lines in American democracy. Arendt's reports on the trial of Adolph Eichmann also caused a firestorm of controversy, and its impact is still felt today. Directors: Jeff Bieber and Chana Gazit The screening will be followed by a conversation between filmmaker Jeff Bieber and Leon Botstein, President of Bard College.
