This honour not only brings immense recognition to us at East City Films but also underscores the impactful nature of the story we've had the pleasure of telling.
The film, centering on the incredible story of survival and resilience of Holocaust survivor Marion Deichmann, leverages cutting-edge technology to narrate a deeply touching aspect of human history.
Offering a powerful immersive experience, "Letters from Drancy" draws viewers into Marion's world. She recounts her life as a young girl in Nazi-occupied Paris, the painful separation from her mother, her escape with assistance from the French Resistance, and her vivid memories of the D-Day bombings in Normandy. We are proud to be part of this global conversation, inspiring audiences with Marion's compelling narrative.
Her story of love and loss demonstrates the indomitable strength of the human spirit, promoting empathy, compassion, and understanding. Filmed in Paris and Normandy, this innovative VR documentary blends archival images and documents, with live video and animation, painting a vibrant picture of life before and during the war. The film is scheduled to premiere to the public at the Illinois Holocaust Museum in October. All of us at East City Films feel deeply privileged to have played a role in such a significant project.
Achieving such a remarkable feat would not have been possible without the dedication and talent of our long-term partners and team members. Your efforts and contributions have been invaluable in bringing "Letters from Drancy" to life. Keep an eye out for additional information regarding Venice and the upcoming museum release.
