‘The Commandant’s Shadow,’ True Account of Holocaust Horrors Fictionalized in ‘The Zone of Interest,’ Unpacked by Filmmakers at Mumbai Festival


After Jonathan Glazer's Cannes, Oscar and BAFTA-winning 'The Zone of Interest,' Daniela Volker's 'The Commandant's Shadow' tackles the same subject.

After Jonathan Glazer’s Cannes, Oscar and BAFTA-winning “The Zone of Interest,” Daniela Volker’s “The Commandant’s Shadow” tackles the same subject – what it was like to live next door to a WWII concentration camp. Kurup, an entrepreneur who owns Creativeland Studios, which recently unveiled a joint venture to establish AIG India, watched a trailer for “The Commandant’s Shadow” at a fundraiser where Volker and Robbins also delivered a passionate pitch for the film. “We end our film with a message of hope, which is also important – our Holocaust survivor meeting Rudolf Höss’s son and saying, ‘We have to talk to each other,’ that can be applied to all sorts of other conflict situations.”
