rico:generalDescription "Since 1988, IMAJ has identified films that deal with various aspects of Jewish life and history, as well as genocides and crimes against humanity. Currently, the IMAJ database is the most comprehensive database in French devoted to films with a Jewish theme. IMAJ has purchased Video Rights for a small portion of these films."@en ;

rico:history "The Institute of Audiovisual Jewish Memory, was founded in Brussels in 1984, following the establishment of the same Institute in Paris, by Esther Hoffenberg, a year earlier.\r\n\r\nAfter a stay in the United States, Esther Hoffenberg, co-realisator of the Belgian film *Comme si c’était hier*, noticed that there was a lack of central archives, dissemination, or simply of public information for films related to Judaism in Europe. Béatrice Godlewicz, a teacher who was completing an archivist degree at the time, also made the same observation. She set up a parallel association to that of Paris to provide for schools and teachers with films and information that dealt with Jewish themes that could combat stereotypes as well as Holocaust denial and anti-Semitism. From 1984 to 1988, Esther Hoffenberg, and later, Pauline Juste, allowed the Brussels association to develop compatible tools for recording data on the basis of cooperation and exchange of information. IMAJ – Paris was eventually integrated into Museum of Jewish Art and History, thereby losing its status as an independent association and the IMAJ name. IMAJ – Brussels, thanks to a grant from the Belgian French community remains an independent institution.\r\n\r\nThirty years on, IMAJ has achieved its goal: it has produce an ever-growing database of new films. More than 5,000 titles have already been identified and hundreds of tapes and DVDs can be consulted on the spot. The database is accessible to internet users. IMAJ organizes film events: previews, festivals, screenings with discussions and, more recently, supports the production of films. The IMAJ, with the support of the Cinémathèque of the Belgian French Community, has produced a DVD accompanied by a booklet, *Le cinéma de Vouzôtres*, which provides a showcase of films produced by Belgian filmmakers on Jewish life. \r\n"@en ;
