At the end of World War II, at the age of 19, Nathan Hilu, the son of Syrian Jewish immigrants, received a life-changing assignment from the U.S. Army: to guard the top Nazi war criminals at the Nuremberg trials. This experience fueled a lifetime of artistic inspiration for Nathan, a virtually unknown “outsider artist,” who spent the next 70 years obsessively creating a visual narrative from his memories. But what happens when those memories take on a life of their own? Delving into the nature of an artist’s stories, “Nathan-ism” is a fascinating look at one man’s need to share truths with a world that doesn’t always want to listen.
Followed by a conversation with director Elan Golod and co-producer Melanie Levy, moderated by Simona Di Nepi, curator of Judaica at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
