LAJFF- Children of Giant
LAJFF- Children of Giant
In the summer of 1955, Hollywood descended on the dusty West Texas town of Marfa as production began on the highly anticipated movie Giant. Based on the novel by Edna Ferber, the daughter of a Hungarian-born Jewish storekeeper, the authors own encounters with discrimination informed her work. Similarly stirred to address human rights issues after his WWII military service, Oscar-winning director George Stevens embraced the books controversial themes of feminism, class division and racism in post-war America. Rare footage and clips from the movie complement interviews with surviving cast and crew, film historians, as well as residents whose lives mirrored the social issues explored on screen.
