SUMMARY:EMU CJS: Elan Golod\, Screening of Nathan-ism
DESCRIPTION:“Filmmaker Elan Golod proposes a documentary portrait of the aging artist but what begins as a peek at a unique witness to history grows into an absorbing study of the function of art as archive and invention. Daring to question an artist’s stories\, “Nathan-ism” is a fascinating look at one man’s need to share truths with a world that doesn’t always want to listen.” (From “Nathan-ism” website (https://www.nathan-ism.com/)

The Kidnapping of\nEdgardo Mortara\, which he authored in 1997\, was a finalist for the National Book\nAward for Nonfiction. Kertzer was among the first scholars granted access to the\nnewly opened Vatican archives for the papacy of the controversial Pius XII. Kevin\nMadigan\, Winn Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Harvard University writes that\n“This remarkably researched book is replete with revelations that deserve the\nadjective ‘explosive’ . . . The Pope at War is a masterpiece.” \nThis event is free\, but registration is necessary.\nRegister at:  https://tinyurl.com/kertzer
