Nur der Wald ist geblieben

In the organizer's words:

The film Nur der Wald ist geblieben is a search for traces of the Gunskirchen subcamp in Upper Austria. Together with Shoah survivor Shaul Spielmann, directors Hans Seebacher and Tobias Hochstöger embark on a journey in which they encounter silence, shame and repression, but also residents and neighbors who are actively coming to terms with the dark past of their town. An investigation that gains intensity through their restrained observation.

From May 5-10, 2026, the Jewish Film Festival Berlin Brandenburg (JFBB) will show how contemporary, polyphonic and surprising Jewish storytelling is in cinema today. With 60 films from 21 countries, it is one of the most important forums for Jewish cinema in Europe. The film Nur der Wald ist geblieben is a competition entry of the 32nd Jewish Film Festival Berlin Brandenburg.
