DOK.horizonte Competition – Cinema of Urgency
DIE VISION DER CLAUDIA ANDUJAR
Schweiz, Deutschland 2024 – Director: Heidi Specogna – Original version with English subtitles – Length: 89 min.
The photographer Claudia Andujar looks back at her life and tells us how, as a child, she was the only member of her Jewish family to survive the Holocaust and struggled to find meaning in her life. Eventually, she found it in her expressive portraits of the Yanomami who live in the Amazon in Brazil. Specogna’s film hits like an arrow to the heart. It is profound, touching and full of hope.

Note: This film contains explicit depictions of dead people.
