From early cinema to contemporary films, portrayals of Jewish identity reflect an insider/outsider experience. Filmmaker and historian David Chack traces this evolution through works such as The Pawnshop, The Life of Emile Zola, Gentleman’s Agreement, The Diary of Anne Frank, and more recent films like A Serious Man and A Real Pain. He reveals both obvious and subtle depictions, offering insight into how Jewish representation in film has developed over time.
