Film Screening & Talk-Back - Life In Stills

At the age of 96, Miriam Weissenstein never imagined that she would be facing a new chapter in her life. But when “The Photo House” — her late husband Rudi’s life’s work — was destined for demolition, even this opinionated and uncompromising woman knew she needed help. Under the cloud of a family tragedy, a special relationship is forged between Miriam and her grandson, Ben, as they join forces to save the shop and its nearly one million negatives that document Israel’s defining moments. A talk-back follows with Daniel Levin, MFA, Associate Professor of photography at Tri-C.
