L’Tamid is in collaboration with Los Angeles based Righteous Conversations Project (RCP) a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing together Holocaust Survivors and student groups.

To date four animated documentaries and one graphic novel (publishing pending) have been produced at COC within the framework of the L’Tamid project. Every film tells a story of a Holocaust Survivor in a unique visual style, employing a different animation medium that combines analog production methods with digital editing techniques. L’Tamid is in collaboration with a film scoring composer Bernardo Feldman, Chair Music Department COC and a COC Sound Engineer, professor, Jon Amador.
