An essential new companion piece to Shoah (showing on April 5 as a part of the Jewish Film Festival), the unique new behind-the-scenes documentary All I Had Was Nothingness gives us an intimate look at Claude Lanzmann’s 12-year-journey to make his groundbreaking film. Filmmaker Guillaume Ribot had access to 220 hours of unreleased footage from the production of Shoah, which are incorporated with Lanzmann’s own words drawn from his memoirs. While Shoah emerged as a masterpiece, the production was filled with doubt, setbacks, and false starts, all of which only serve to make Lanzmann’s achievement more impressive.
Presented alongside Alain Resnais’s 1955 short film Night and Fog: one of the first great movies to reflect on the horrors of the Holocaust, a disturbing and poetic essay film that moves between present day footage of abandoned concentration camps and harrowing wartime footage.
