KZ by Rex Bloomstein is a documentary about a former concentration camp, but with no archive footage, no voiceover, or music. We believe it to be an original thought provoking analysis of evil - it has already won the VARA Audience Award at Amnesty International Film Festival, as well as being a finalist at Sundance and Edinburgh 2006.

We have specifically created two different DVD packages for KZ - one with just the film and interview with the director, and the other with an extra 2.5 hours of material specifically designed for use by schools and education specialists working with Keystage 3,4, and post 16, called "Remembering Evil : Questions and Responses"

Rex Bloomstein,
director of KZ tells of his filmmaking inspiration: "The first program in the 7 Up series inspired me a 15 yr old to want to make documentaries. The humanism so brilliantly evident in Satjagit Ray's Apu Trilogy, Francois Truffaut's the 400 Blows, the 'creative interpretation of reality' of John Grieson's pioneering documentaries, the films of the Maysles and Frederic Wiseman and John Cassavetes in the States."

Beadie Finzi,
Producer of "Unknown White Male" writes of KZ: "KZ is very intense, very unsettling and I think should be compulsory viewing. It is a film that forces us to reconnect with the most terrible events in modern European history, making the Holocaust relevant and real to a new generation. Not by archive or historical analysis, but by the simple and devastating portrayal of a group people who today live and work around a concentration camp which is now open to the general public."

KZ unflinchingly unravels what took place within those walls but also examines the lasting impact on the villagers who live around the camp. This allows the filmmakers to explore the utterly fascinating territory described by Primo Levi as the grey zone; the complicity and ambivalence in the face of unspeakable cruelty. All too human traits that are chilling reminder of what is possible in a time of war.
