Essential (but boring) documentation of European refugees. Mostly intellectuals and artists who were able to get the aid from Americans to save their lives. Lots and lots of boldfaced names in this one.
I’m embarrassed how little I knew about the New School’s origins.
Caught this at the MoMa on a freezing Wednesday at 8 pm. Audience at 1/4th capacity, mostly of septuagenarians and up. I’ve seen some of the best films of my life that way.
