Respite

"Respite" is a documentary film that delves into the forgotten story of Westerbork, a Dutch refugee camp turned Nazi transit camp during World War II. Shot in black and white silence, the movie uses recovered fragments and traces of a phantom film to create a haunting portrayal of the camp's dual identity. With a focus on the camp's transformation and the lives of those who passed through it, "Respite" offers a poignant reflection on the human experience in times of war and occupation.
