Visit www.hdsb.ca for exhibit hours. photos by Nikki Wesley ­ Oakville Beaver (Follow on Twitter @halton_photog) Beautifully Broken airs tonight Beautifully Broken, The Life & Work of Rafael Goldchain, filmed by Oakville's Vladimir Kabelik, will air on TVO tonight (Wednesday). Kabelik is a Sheridan College film and television production professor and a documentary filmmaker. The film is about his fellow Sheridan professor, Rafael Goldchain, a successful photographer. Goldchain's work has been exhibited in New York's Museum of Modern Art, the Canadian Museum for Contemporary Photography and at galleries around the world. The film articulates Goldchain's 30-year journey to photograph not only the world, but also his subjective relationship to it. It explores issues of family, identity, aging, memory and art. Goldchain's fascination with identity and mortality stems from his Jewish heritage and ancestors who died in the Holocaust. The photographer hopes to pass along his understanding of the complexity of Jewish identity on to his teenaged son ­ a self-described "part Polish, part Irish, part Chilean ... Jew." In the film, they travel together to Israel, and to Poland to visit the town where Goldchain's ancestors lived, as well as Treblinka, where the remaining members of Goldchain's Polish family died in 1941. The relationship between father and son, sometimes tense, is central to the film. Goldchain is currently the coordinator of Sheridan's Bachelor of Photography program. The documentary will air at 9 p.m. Learn about participating in Culture Days Do you want to participate at this year's Culture Days in September? Then, you'll need to know how.
