Program Note
In the 1970s Swedish-born Jewish photographer Esaias Baitel immersed himself in a Parisian suburb where motor bikes, rock and roll, and swastikas go hand in hand. Keeping his Jewishness secret he did not find lost or mislead youths, but rather discovered an integrated subculture with entire families and children. Accompanied by Baitel′s text, this absorbing essay film describes the photographer′s experience of living among the Rockers, and courtesy of interview fragments of the individuals in the photos offers their perceptions of themselves.

In the nineteen seventies, photographer Esaias Baitel lived in France, in the Parisian suburb of Aubervilliers, for five years, which, among other things, resulted in a book and an exhibition that has toured the world.
Esaias was born in Trelleborg, Sweden, in 1949, where his father, originally from a small Polish town, arrived in 1945 from a camp in Lübeck, Germany. His mother escaped from Lithuania during the war, and arrived in Sweden at the beginning of the nineteen forties.
After graduating from Uppsala University, Esaias Baitel has in the ensuing twenty-five years established himself as a world-class photographer. His stories have been published in all the great magazines, like Paris Match, Time and Newsweek. In the fall of 2001, his book ”Jerusalem” was published in Paris, France
