Sarah Dobai  The Donkey Field (still)  2021  

The central feature of the exhibition will be a single screen film titled The Donkey Field. The artist’s new film weaves a link between an antisemitic attack in 1944 on a young boy on a piece of common land known locally as ‘the donkey field’ and the story of the persecution of Marie and Balthazar in the acclaimed film Au Hasard Balthazar (Robert Bresson, 1966).

To coincide with the re-opening of its Second World War and Holocaust Galleries, the Imperial War Museum, London will be screening The Donkey Field from 28 to 31 October 2021.

Alongside the exhibition the gallery has commissioned an essay on the work by artist and film writer, Lucy Reynolds.
