October 25 - World Day for Audiovisual Heritage International Film Screening
World Day for Audiovisual Heritage focuses on the importance of preserving film and recorded sound from around the globe. In celebration, ESU Special Collections and Archives presents Ida, winner of the 2015 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. The movie will be shown at 7:00 p.m. on the first floor of William Allen White Library. Free popcorn will be provided.
In Poland, eighteen-year old Anna, a sheltered orphan raised in a convent, is preparing to become a nun when the Mother Superior insists she first visit her sole living relative. Naive, innocent Anna soon finds herself in the presence of her aunt Wanda, a worldly and cynical Communist Party insider, who shocks her with the declaration that her real name is Ida and her Jewish parents were murdered during the Nazi occupation. This revelation triggers a heart-wrenching journey into the countryside, to the family house and into the secrets of the repressed past, evoking the haunting legacy of the Holocaust and the realities of postwar Communism.
