BLOCKADE Opens at Film Forum
Two award-winning films will premiere at New York City's
Film Forum on March 14, 2007. Both films use found footage and photographs to reconstruct the World War II experience in Russia. Called
“Absorbing... poignant viewing!” by Variety,
BLOCKADE (2005, 52 min.) reconstructs the siege of Leningrad in 1941 as life turns to death in the city's streets when no supplies can move into the country. On the other side of the battle, a German soldier chronicles his daily life as a soldier in the Nazi army as they invade Russia.
AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER (2004, 26 min.) is the life of one soldier captured in his personal diaries and photos. Tickets are available online beginning March 7 at
www.filmforum.org.
