Occupied City
Memory, time, future. The past collides with the evasive present in Oscar-winning director Steve McQueen's extensive excavation of the Nazi occupancy of Amsterdam. Door by door the camera swipes through the streets still carrying traces of persecution and resistance - and reflects upon the function of these places today. The result is as crushing as it is life-confirming, a meditation over memory, the city as a meeting-place and where we are headed in the future.
