HOUSEWITZ
Niederlande 2021 – Director: Oeke Hoogendijk – Original with English subtitles, Q&A with Oeke Hoogendijk (director) – Length: 71 min.
A woman in her living room, watching television with her cat. At first the scene appears quite ordinary but soon you are gazing into an abyss. Filmmaker Oeke Hoogendijk’s mother vehemently refuses to leave her house. HOUSEWITZ gives an insight into an oppressive reality where the holocaust lives on in the everyday lives of the house’s inhabitants. Adele Kohout
We present the German premiere of the film.
