Set to premiere at Berlin International Film Festival’s Forum section this week is From Where They Stood (aka À pas aveugles), which takes a unique look at Holocaust history through archival photographs and real-life locations. During the war, a handful of prisoners in WWII camps risked their lives to take clandestine photographs and document the hell the Nazis were hiding from the world. In the vestiges of the camps, director Christophe Cognet retraces the footsteps of these courageous men and women in a quest to unearth the circumstances and the stories behind their photographs, composing as such an archeology of images as acts of defiance. Ahead of the premiere, we’re pleased to present the first teaser.
“The discovery of the Nazi concentration camps, camera in hand, created an aperture for cinematic representation. In The Big Red One, Samuel Fuller stages his own discovery of the Falkenau concentration camp.
