Co-presented with the Goethe-Institut Toronto
The Toronto Jewish Film Festival has launched a re-imagined version of the Festival this year, which includes the Toronto premiere of Oscar winner Caroline Link's celebrated literary adaptation "
When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit" (Germany, Switzerland 2019) available to stream
Thurs Oct 29th to Fri Oct 30, with a special Zoom Q&A with Director Caroline Link on Oct 31st at 3pm!
In this gentle, beautifully rendered historical family drama, a German-Jewish girl takes her first steps into adulthood, as world events intrude on her happy, carefree existence. Nine-year-old Anna is too busy with schoolwork and friends to notice Hitler’s face glaring from posters plastered all over 1933 Berlin. But when her father suddenly vanishes, and the family is secretly hurried out of Germany, Anna begins to understand life will never be the same. What follows is a courageous adventure full of fear and uncertainty, as Anna and her family navigate unfamiliar lands, and cope with the challenges of being refugees. Oscar-winning filmmaker Caroline Link directs this adaptation of Judith Kerr’s semi-autobiographical bestselling children’s novel.
The Goethe-Institut Toronto is looking forward to continuing our long-standing partnership with the Toronto Jewish Film Festival as the festival continues with part two from October 22 – November 1 online. Goethe-Institut Toronto Program Curator Jutta Brendemühl is on the jury for the David A. Stein Documentary Award, which will be given to one of the eligible films in the 2020 TJFF line-up.
