Three Minutes: A Lengthening - Comments & Tips

[Filmin] A risky documentary that only uses three-minute fragments of images recorded in a Polish village shortly before the Shoah began. The interviews shown in off-screen serve as a kind of story of oral transmission, asking who of the 150 faces that were detected in that home recording could have survived the Holocaust. A detective work that is fascinating and keeps the attention thanks to the interventions/dialogues between the grandson of the author of the recordings and the narrator Helena Bonham-Carter. And at the same time that it recovers the town of Nasielsk for memory, it reflects on the way in which ancient images demand the need not to forget.
