Films and other visual content have a significant impact on our memory of historical events, especially the Holocaust. The International Conference Migrating Images and Image Migration: How Popular Culture Shapes the Visual History of the Holocaust explores the impact of historical film footage and photographs from the liberation and Nazi atrocities on popular culture representations of the Holocaust, particularly on films, graphic novels, artworks, video games, and digital media. Artists, directors, creators, and producers from the local and international creative industries join scholars and researchers to discuss artistic methods of integrating, referencing, appropriating and curating liberation - and other Holocaust-related imagery and their effect on the memory of the Holocaust. In a series of events at the Jerusalem Cinematheque filmmakers, artists, scholars and software designers discuss ways of exploring, searching and curating historical imagery in film, video art and digital environments.
