Emile Fallaux
This weekend is we present a special programme dedicated to Jacob Israël de Haan (1881-1924), a Dutch poet, writer, and journalist. A writer who continuously sought controversy, a hero to some, an enemy to others. The film screenings commemorate Jacob Israël de Haan, who was murdered 100 years ago today. Emile Fallaux and Zvi Landsman present films exploring different facets of this Jewish queer poet, writer, and journalist.
Following the screening of The Battle of Jacob Israël de Haan, there will be a short showing of a fragment from Emile Fallaux’s documentary The End That Nobody Can Reverse (1992). Afterwards, a Q&A session will be held with director and journalist Emile Fallaux and director Zvi Landsman.
