SCHENECTADY–The Schenectady Jewish Community Center (SJCC) Film Festival will screen “Auction” followed by a discussion led by Kayla Carlsen, executive director of the Albany Institute of History and Art, on Saturday, March 8, at 7:30 p.m. The SJCC is located at 2565 Balltown Rd.
In this movie based on true events, a hotshot opportunistic art dealer, André Masson, receives a letter concerning the discovery of a painting in a factory worker’s home. The painting by Austrian expressionist Egon Schiele had been assumed as lost as it was condemned as “degenerate art” by the Nazis in 1939.
The 2024, 91 minute film is in French with English subtitles. It was directed by Pascal Bonitzer.
The Film Festival is made possible through the upport of the JCC Friends of the Arts, the Epstein Jewish Cultural Fund, Meyer and Mary Kurland/Gebell Fund, Jonas and Edith Flemiberg Jewish Cultural Fund, The Jewish World, and a grant from the Schenectady County Legislature through its County Initiative Program. Tickets are $7 for JCC members and $13 for guests.
