Film | Nelly & Nadine (2022): Finding Love in a Concentration Camp (online)


The unlikely love story between Nelly Mousset-Vos, an opera singer who worked with the French Resistance, and Nadine Hwang, a habituée of the French literary scene who was also likely part of the resistance.

Although they were separated in the last few months of the war, they managed to reunite and spent the rest of their lives together in Venezuela. Nelly and Nadine's story was kept secret until Nelly's grandchild Sylvie opened the couple's personal archives to uncover their history. Director: Magnus Gertten Stars: Anne Bianchi, Sylvie Bianchi, Anne Coesens 92 min. Followed by a conversation with the film's director Magnus Gertten and scholar and CEO of the Jewish Women's Archive Judith Rosenbaum.

Concert | A Celebration of Brazilian Music


A celebration of Brazilian and Portuguese culture, this show imports some of the biggest names in Portuguese-language music. Five-time Latin Grammy winner and Brazilian legend Marisa Monte has been gracing the airwaves for decades, becoming one of the country’s most recognizable voices in the process. Her 2021 LP Portas—her first in nearly ten years—is a timeless masterclass in MPB (música popular brasileira). As bright and buoyant as ever, Monte hasn’t skipped a beat. Duo Joana Amendoira and Fred Martins marry Brazilian fados and melodies that meet in the middle of the Atlantic, performing works from their latest albums Na Volte la Mare and Ultramarino, as well as works Martins composed with famed writer Tiago Torres da Silva. They’re joined by Music from the Sole, a tap dance and live music company that celebrates tap’s relationship with Afro-Brazilian dance and music, connecting its lineage to samba, house dance and passinho (Brazilian street funk). DJ Lara Gerin is on the ones and twos.
