Film Archive, YIVO Institute for Jewish Research
A high proportion of the films in YIVO's small Film Archive are unique or rare items, including 16mm and 8mm films, both amateur (home movies) and industrial (community relations films made by Jewish aid organizations), as well as videotapes, most of which are viewing copies of its films. Of special interest are the approximately 75 home movies made by American Jews during trips to Eastern Europe in the 1920s-30s. The films depict over 25 shtetlakh and smaller towns (mostly in Poland and Lithuania ), as well as major Jewish population centers such as Warsaw , Lodz , Cracow , and Vilna. These amateur films constitute rare motion picture records of Jewish life in Eastern Europe .
