Memory Across Generations - A Meeting with Tal Kantor

How can a family story and works from the past become a source of inspiration for new creative work?

Director and animator Tal Kantor will discuss the connection between her work and the works of her grandfather, preserved in the Yad Vashem collections, and how art makes it possible to transmit memory across generations.
