The Summer School invites students and doctoral candidates from various disciplines to get to know the Jewish Film Festival Berlin Brandenburg and to spend five days exploring Jewish history and the present in film. Jewish film is understood within the program logic of Jewish film festivals, which open up a space for discourse on Jewish experience with the films.

In addition to Jewish themes or the reflection of migration experiences, Jewish moments in reception will also be addressed. In the mornings, Summer School participants will take part in workshops on the mediality, aesthetics and history of film as well as lectures on Israeli film history. In the afternoons and evenings, films from the festival program will be screened.

The seminar will take place in Berlin. It begins on Tuesday, June 18, 2024 at 7:00 pm with the opening of the film festival at the Hans Otto Theater in Potsdam.
The seminar ends on Sunday, June 23, 2024 at 12:30 p.m.
.

The participation fee for the seminar and the visit to the festival, including accreditation and lunch, is €50.00 for all students. Additional accommodation will be provided for participants living outside of Berlin. Catering during the seminar is vegetarian.
