Documentary film

The Visualkey Filmproduktion Mainz camera team accompanied the work of the "SchUM Artists in Residence" scholarship holders in 2022. The result is a fascinating documentary film "THREE INSIGHTS INTO SHUM" about SchUM Artists in Residence.

In 2022, the ShUM cities implemented their first joint Artist in Residence program. International artists were invited to spend six weeks working on the rich tradition of the ShUM Jewish community.

A distinguished jury ultimately selected Avery Gosfield from Italy, who created compositions based on Jewish textual and musical traditions from the Middle Ages, as well as Katya Oicherman from the USA, who illustrated Juspa Schammes' Worms "Minhagbuch" with hand embroidery, and Germán Morales from Argentina, who captured the architectural heritage of the three cities in drawings and photos.

The camera team from Visualkey Filmproduktion Mainz accompanied the scholarship holders in their work. The documentary film "THREE INSIGHTS INTO SHUM" clearly shows how much the medieval SchUM sites with their synagogues, mikvahs, Talmud schools, and cemeteries still fascinate artists worldwide today.
