Speakers: Caroline Pick, Susie Orbach

A beautifully constructed film capturing the previously veiled story of artist and former BBC commissioning editor Caroline Pick’s parents’ lives in 1930s Czechoslovakia and her own childhood in 1950s Britain, Home Movie was shown to great acclaim at international film festivals around the world, as well as Jewish Book Week 2015, but it ended with a question. Her new film, Home Movie (2020), answers it. Incorporating the earlier footage, it moves into the present when Caroline finally plucks up the courage to travel to her mother’s hometown in Hungary/Ukraine – more than 80 years after her mother left it – and discovers the heritage that she’d been searching for much of her life. Join us for a screening of this very moving film about finding your family, long after they’ve died, followed by a discussion with filmmaker Pick and Susie Orbach, psychotherapist and author.
