Gerard Amsellem: Film Moderator
Gerard has been an educator for 20 years. When he started La Cinémathèque in 2011, he was fulfilling a lifelong goal of bringing quality film education to his community. Since then, La Cinémathèque has grown to be a community mainstay through which he has hosted several series on film and its history. He has also organized events with other local institutions across northern New Jersey. Today, he continues to expand La Cinémathèque with an ever-widening array of series themes, and he hopes to partner with more local groups and institutions as a guest lecturer.
Gerard has spoken across northern NJ on a wide range of topics within film, film history, and identity. His recent series have included:
Indian Film (2020, SOPAC)
Latin American Film (2019, SOPAC)
Cannes Palme d’Or Winners (2018-2019, SOPL)
Chinese Film (2019, SOPAC)
Northern European Film (2018, SOPAC/SOPL)
