SUMMARY:Art Spiegelman: Disaster is My Muse - Hartford Jewish Film Fest
DESCRIPTION:In this engrossing documentary\, the legendary cartoonist Art Spiegelman lays bare his life and art   from underground comix and trade-cards to his Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel Maus\, where he portrayed his Holocaust-survivor parents as mice and cats. The story spans decades of radical work and restless questioning: How do you speak truth when the world tries to silence you? How do you wrestle with your father's past\, your own voice\, and a medium still fighting for recognition as "real art"? Spiegelman's humor\, ambition and moral urgency all surface here\, making this film both a portrait of an artist and a provocation to all of us.\n\nWinner of the Grand Jury Prize at DOC NYC 2024 and an Official Selection of the Miami Jewish Film Festival 2025.\n\n\n\nFollowed by a Reel Talk with Stuart Abrams\, Teacher of Genocide Studies\, Social Psychology\, and Human Rights at Avon High School and Director of Holocaust Study Tours
