Bullies of all kinds hate to be laughed at, because humor undermines the fear they want their victims to have. But are there situations too serious to joke about? It might seem like such tragedies and horrors as 9/11, AIDS, police brutality, mass deportation, or the M**der of political rivals should be off limits for comedy. On the other hand, Austrian psychiartist and Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl write "humor was another of the soul’s weapons in the fight for self-preservation" in the Nazi concentration camps. So, perhaps, humor can help us cope with suffering, but can comedy actually help change things for the better?This month our next free, public screening is a Holocaust comedy — what an oxymoron! — in which a one of cinema's greatest clowns dares to use humor in response to horror. Join us as we kick off Cinema of Resistance Season Two: Comedy as Resistance. Discussion follows with historian Dr. Laurie Baron, author of a book on Holocaust cinema and the satire column "Humoring the Headlines” for the San Diego Jewish World news. Joining Dr. Baron is stand up comic Jesse Egan Winner of "San Diego's Funniest Person" contest to help us think about comedy in the Trump Era.All are welcome.
