WHO: E. Randol Schoenberg is an American lawyer and genealogist based in Los Angeles, California that specializes in legal cases related to the recovery of looted or stolen artworks, particularly those by the Nazi regime during the Holocaust. Schoenberg, a top litigator and the grandson of composer Arnold Schoenberg, succeeded in recovering Gustav Klimt’s famous painting The Woman in Gold and other works of art after an eight-year struggle against the Austrian government.
The Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center exists to ensure the lessons of the Holocaust inspire action today.

MORE: FIORETTA is directed by Matthew Mishory, whose previous films are celebrated for their exquisite visual style and expansive narrative language, including WHO ARE THE MARCUSES?, NO PLACE OF EXILE, JOSHUA TREE, 1951: A PORTRAIT OF JAMES DEAN, and ABSENT. FIORETTA is a documentary that follows Schoenberg and his son Joey on a journey through Europe (and the centuries) as they reclaim and reunite the fractured shards of 500 years of family history. Along the way, they encounter kings, mystics, and a false messiah, as well as the ordinary people who witnessed Europe’s distant and recent past. Press materials available here.
