Maya Erdelyi’s marvelous short film interweaves a variety of media — animation, super-8 home movie footage, and other archival images — to tell the deeply personal tale of her Hungarian-born grandmother, a Holocaust survivor, who helped raise her. Economically exploring questions around Jewish identity and diaspora, immigration and motherhood, Anyuka (which means “mother” in Hungarian) spans three continents in its story of one woman’s remarkable life.
