The Yad Vashem Award - Nathan-ism

For the second year running, Docaviv and Yad Vashem will be presenting the Yad Vashem Award for an outstanding Holocaust-related documentary. This year, the $3,000 prize goes to “Natham-ism,” directed and produced by Elan Golod.

From the award committee’s justifications for choosing this film:
In precise and rich cinematic language, Golod manages to elicit in his viewer a wide range of emotions towards the outsider artist, to bring his works to life, and especially to raise awareness of the complexity of documentation, art, and testimonies about the all-human trauma that was the Holocaust.

The award will be presented by Dani Dayan, Chairman of Yad Vashem, at a special event with Elan Golod after a screening of the film.
