An estate-sale find of a shoebox filled with old photographs and negatives made in India in 1945 Zbiral & Teller to India. As they “follow the box” to try and unravel the mystery behind who took these compelling photos and for what purpose, they gather together contemporary Indian artists who each draw inspiration from these images and create new artworks in response. The resulting exhibit and film is a cross-cultural exploration of the power of art to reveal our different cultures and ourselves over time and space.

This 1999 film is an exploration of the ongoing effects of tragedy on succeeding generations.  It is based on the life-story of Jerri Zbiral, whose mother and sister survived the Nazi destruction of the Czech village of Lidice during World War II.  The stories had a profound impact on Jerri’s life.  Filmed in the Czech Republic and in Evanston, Illinois, In the Shadow of Memory consists of interviews with survivors, with German visitors to the 50th anniversary memorial, and with Jerri’s family, including her school-age children.  The film explores how the tragedy was used for various purposes, and what the legacy of continued hatred can be.
