■ The Forger (2022) at the Magick Lantern Theater
21-year-old Cioma Schönhaus won't let anyone take away his zest for life, especially not the Nazis. He wants to discover life, but has the misfortune of living as a Jewish person in Berlin in the 1940s. Since the best hiding spots are in plain sight, Cioma decides to go out into the light to escape deportation. Using the identity of a marine officer he created for himself, he throws himself into the city's nightlife and even finds a fragile hope for love during the darkest moments of the war. Throughout the day, he forges IDs with just a brush, some ink, and a steady hand - and saves the lives of many others. His talent puts him in more and more danger, though, and at some point, Cioma's only hope to survive is a last forged ID - with his own name on it. 1hr, 56m History/Drama/Biography German/English Subtitles. Stay for the Film Discussion. Tickets online to 5 pm the day of the show. $15 Cash at the door. Please, no bills larger than $20. 201 West Martina St (side door) (off West Richmond) Questions?
