Director Steve McQueen said his unusual four-hour Holocaust documentary shot in Amsterdam is rooted in his strong sense that “the past is present” in physical manifestations all around us, as well as a reminder to stay vigilant.
“It’s very cliche, but we have to not forget. Because see what’s happening now in the politics of the world…things are shifting to the right. And if anything, you know, your book, this film, hopefully can be a reminder of what’s at stake, and it’s freedom,” the director of 12 Years A Slave and upcoming Blitz said Sunday as the film screened at the New York Film Festival. The book refers to ‘Atlas of an Occupied City, Amsterdam 1940-1945’ by Bianca Stigter, McQueen’s wife, a filmmaker (Three Minutes: A Lengthening) and historian. Her Atlas is a compedium of addresses around the city where Nazi atrocities unfolded during World War II with descriptions of each. The couple lives in Amsterdam with their children. McQueen shot the film around the city over nearly three years, ending up with 36 hours of footage edited into just over four. There’s no archival footage but shots of building exteriors, parks, public gardens, underpasses, a girl’s school, a theater and other locations, some since demolished, that were sites of interrogation and execution. Instead, the camera lingers on modern day city dwellers going about their lives in the same spots.
Some 60,000 of Amsterdam’s Jews were deported to concentration camps during the war as a strong Dutch Nazi party collaborated with occupying Germans. Holland deported more Jews proportionally (70%) than any other Western European nation and very few survived.
“I don’t know if it’s a documentary. I don’t know if it’s a feature film. I don’t know if it’s art.
