Michaël Prazan

French filmmaker Michaël Prazan (Einsatzgruppen, TJFF 2011) offers this intelligent reflection on the autobiographical nature of the films of Steven Spielberg, outlining the fears, wonderment and social commitment of this distinctive American Jewish filmmaker. Combining extensive film clips, home movies, rare behind-the-scenes footage and archival interviews, Prazan offers a very engaging auteur study, tapping into the autobiographical revelations offered in The Fabelmans as well as interviews where Spielberg reflects on the rediscovery of his Jewishness and the antisemitism he experienced as a child. This loving portrait will make viewers want to revisit Spielberg’s films all over again, though a new lens.
