205mm x 220mm, 112 pages, full colour printing throughout, perfect bound, 2019

The book examines the archive materials — photographs, newspaper clippings and other ephemera — from the research processes that culminated in her film trilogy With Heartfelt Gratitude for the Painless Treatment (2008), Chez Paulette on the Sunset Strip (2013), and Fez: The Royal Scent (2019).

Together with film and production stills, excerpts from the films’ screenplays, and Anya’s introductory text, the book interweaves the haunted memories of Jewish life embedded in her family stories, wandering through the cities that her father inhabited: Cairo, Berlin, and Los Angeles.
