Holiday treats: FJI previews end-of-the-year movie fare
In Gottfried Helnwein and the Dreaming Child, the Austrian artist Gottfried Helnwein clashes with the production team of the Israeli opera as he collaborates with them on an adaptation of a play about children and the Holocaust. Behind-the-scenes footage gives viewers a sense of the artistic conflicts and the acclaimed result. (First Run; Nov. 23)
