Sunday, 14 December 2025

Opening Remarks:Stephen Naron, Director, Fortunoff Archive

Guest Filmmaker:Ohad Ufaz

You are warmly invited to the second programme in the Talking Memory series, honouring the legacy of Dori Laub — psychoanalyst, Holocaust survivor, and co-founder of the Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies. The event will open with remarks by Stephen Naron, who will reflect on Laub’s pioneering contributions and lasting influence on testimony and trauma studies. Following these remarks, filmmaker Ohad Ufaz will present and discuss the documentary The Listener, co-directed by Ufaz and Micha Livne, which offers a moving exploration of Laub’s life and his profound commitment to listening — conceived as an act of empathy and a bridge between past and present, memory and witness.

A pre-screening of The Listener will be made available to all registrants.
