Everything Is Illuminated

Liev Schreiber will discuss his debut as a director and screenwriter of the film Everything Is Illuminated, adapted for the screen from the 2002 novel by Jonathan Safran Foer. Prof. Eric Goldman will moderate the discussion.

Everything Is Illuminated follows a young Jewish American as he endeavours to find the woman who saved his grandfather in a small Ukrainian town that was decimated by the Nazi invasion. What starts out as a journey to piece together one family’s story under the most absurd circumstances turns into a surprisingly meaningful journey with a powerful series of revelations — the importance of remembrance, the perilous nature of secrets, the legacy of the Holocaust, the meaning of friendship and, most importantly, love.
