Emily and Gitta
A film by Tami Gold
1996, 30 minutes, Color, VHS
Order No. W99482
Memories of the Holocaust are interlaced with a contemporary love story in this arresting short drama in which history and inescapable repercussions from one’s family’s past have the power to invade relationships. Emily, a painter, is the child of concentration camp survivors. Gitta, a photographer, grew up in Germany thinking of herself as innocent, removed from the actions of her parents and their generation under Hitler. The two meet and begin a dance of emotional and erotic intimacy. But almost as soon as it gets under way, their relationship threatens to come undone by the personal and historical legacies they do and do not share.

QUOTES

    “A compelling film which realistically portrays the kind of anxiety that exists for children of survivors. It does this in a lesbian context which makes the piece all the more powerful.”
