‘Zone Of Interest’ Producer Says Film’s Five Oscar Nominations For Jonathan Glazer Movie Are “A Real Education”


Jim Wilson reeled off the Oscar nominations for The Zone of Interest, which he produced with Polish producing partner Ewa Puszczynska, as they were announced, beginning with best international film…

“Fairly soon in that process, we realized that Martin Amis’ primary source must have been Auschwitz and that the book and the people are clearly based on the Höss’s – Rudolph and his wife Hedwig.” They hired Bartek Rainski as co-producer and for four years he spearheaded a team of researchers who studied witness testimony from those who had worked at the camp and for the Höss family and other officers. I am so grateful to Jonathan, Jim Wilson, Ewa Puszczyńska, A24, Film4 and Access for their faith in the sound, and I really couldn’t have done this without Siimon Carroll, Brendan Feeney, and Max Behrens and all at Wave Studios, but mostly I am so very happy that more people will get to see the movie and its powerful message.”
