Subject: Call for reviewers--Documentary films
First Run/Icarus Films, a leading distributor of critically acclaimed and award-winning documentary films to North American academic markets, seeks reviewers for the following scholarly films: The Holocaust Experience: Examines the role of the museum as preserver of history in contemporary society, and how curatorial choices (which are sometimes controversial) are made. The film explores how the memory of the Holocaust is kept alive via preserved concentration camp ruins in Poland and hyper-realistic holocaust museums in America.
