Occupied City
Dir.: Steve McQueen | 262 minutes

Occupied City

Netherlands, UK, USA 2023 | 262 minutes | English, Dutch | Hebrew, English subtitles

The past collides with our precarious present in Steve McQueen’s epic documentary Occupied City, informed by the book Atlas of an Occupied City (Amsterdam 1940-1945) written by Bianca Stigter. McQueen creates two interlocking portraits: a door-to-door excavation of the Nazi occupation that still haunts his adopted city, and a vivid journey through the last years of pandemic and protest. What emerges is both devastating and life-affirming, an expansive meditation on memory, time, and where we’re headed.
