Following a successful world premiere in Warsaw last year, Among Neighbors (dir/prod: Yoav Potash) will make its stateside debut at this year’s Santa Barbara International Film Festival. Combining evocative hand-drawn animation with revelatory interviews and verité footage, the film examines Jewish-Polish relations through the story of Gniewoszów, a small, rural town where Jews and Polish Catholics lived side by side for centuries.
