The Maelstrom: A Family Chronicle
to
Filmoteca de Catalunya Plaça Salvador Seguí 1-9, 08001 Barcelona
Directed by Péter Forgács,The Maelstrom: A Family Chronicle is based on a collection of films shot by the Dutch Jewish family Peereboom between 1938 and 1942. They were filmed until the very last moment: the night before they were transported to a German "labor" camp.
World War II and the Holocaust are the subject of many archival documentaries. In these films, images are rarely used that show the other side of the official story: amateur movies. Film will be shown in original language, with Catalan subtitles (VOSC).
