ShareTrailers Schmailers, curated by Jenni Olson, is a feature-length compilation of Jewish movie trailers from the Marx Brothers to Schindler’s List. A mixture of humor, social commentary, and powerful drama, these previews offer a unique insight into the relationship between Hollywood’s studio marketing departments and the growing visibility of Jews in American life. Olson will present a crash-course in Jewish film history from 1937 – 1997, through her talk and screening of trailer highlights.
