On the 20th anniversary of his endearing family classic, Wondrous Oblivion, TJFF is thrilled to honour filmmaker Paul Morrison, whose work has offered intimate stories celebrating Jewish life– presenting a window to its uniqueness amid a multicultural Britain. After first exploring Jewish themes on British television, Paul would go on to create the Oscar-nominated Solomon and Gaenor, the great masterwork of British-Jewish cinema, featuring dialogue spoken in Yiddish and Welsh. In addition to in-person screenings of his major features, viewers across Canada will have the rare pleasure of viewing Morrison’s Jewish-themed television work online, much of which has been out of circulation for decades.

PAUL MORRISON: CAPTURING THE BRITISH JEWISH EXPERIENCE
Before going on to create the Oscar-nominated Solomon and Gaenor and the ever-endearing family classic, Wondrous Oblivion, filmmaker Paul Morrison would explore Jewish themes in a range of television work to which TJFF will provide viewers across Canada rare access: Degas and Pissaro Fall Out (1994), From Bitter Earth – Artists of the Holocaust (1988), and A Sense of Belonging (1991). These three titles are accompanied by newly-recorded interviews with Paul Morrison and fellow collaborators.
