CBS Film Series Presents ‘Vishniac’ 

The congregation’s CBS Film Series features the story of Roman Vishniac, who was difficult and flamboyant, a shameless self-promoter, and a master of reinvention. He was also one of the groundbreaking photographers of the 20th century. Produced by Nancy Spielberg and Roberta Grossman, the film follows the artist from his early years in tsarist Russia to the cosmopolitan streets of pre-war Berlin, to the shtetls in Poland and Lithuania, and the Princeton offices of Albert Einstein. Roman Vishniac is best known for his iconic images of life in Eastern Europe from 1935 through 1938. Few predicted that less than a decade later, these communities would be wiped out, and Vishniac’s photographs would provide the last visual records of an entire world. Admission $5 per person, includes popcorn and concessions. More information: cbs-scv.org.
