He grew up in a large Jewish family in Paris. His mother’s mother, Jadzia Cébula, was born in 1916 in Poland; his father’s mother, Suzanne Parienté, was born in Egypt in 1933. It is the influence of these two different heritages that have led Jonas to be fascinated with questions of identity, migration and citizenship in his work as a filmmaker and now as the founder of Grandmas Project. With the project soon to expand globally, this seemed a good time for JFE® to talk with Jonas about Jewish food, grandmothers and more.
