De film die nooit afkwam
2017 · 57 min · Documentary
In the late 1970s, filmmaker Frans Bromet worked on a film about Holocaust survivor and painter Sieg Maandag. The film was intended to answer the question of how one can continue living after a concentration camp. Sieg Maandag was the little boy in the famous photo in the American magazine LIFE, walking towards his freedom shortly after the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. The film 'Life’s Picture' was never completed at the time due to a conflict between Bromet and the producer, who envisioned a heroic film about the Second World War, whereas Bromet wanted to keep it small and personal. Behind the search for answers to the question of why the film failed, a loving monument emerges to a survivor who, despite the misery he endured, managed to create a life in which optimism and inspiration predominated.
