KZ:
From the filmmaker:
|
Through its depiction of modern-day life at a former concentration camp in Mauthausen, Austria, KZ provides a stark and unsettling example of the long-lasting impact of acts of evil on individuals and society, whilst giving a unique insight into the recent ‘Holocaust tourism’ phenomenon. Tour-guides recount atrocities from the past day in, day out; giggling school groups are quickly silenced by the awful reality of the camp; tourists of all ages and religions explain their reasons for travelling miles to visit; residents of the picturesque town talk of the stigma attached to living there.
With no archive footage, narration, music or survivor testimonies, KZ is a dramatically different documentary, and its unique approach makes it at once timeless and contemporary film. The Independent on Sunday called it 'This year's most fascinating documentary' From the filmmaker: Official website | Trailer | Buy the DVD | Hosting materials Tags: documentary, jews, holocaust, rex bloomstein, concentration camp, nazis, human suffering, survivors No screenings of KZ are currently scheduled.
