Polish film portal Stopklatka has a report and photos from the set of Agnieszka Holland’s new film Hidden, filming on location in Łódź.
The screenplay is based on Robert Marshall’s book In the Sewers of Lvov. The story takes place during World War II: a hardened thief risks his own life to hide a group of Jews from the Nazis.
Holland told Stopklatka that she is aiming for realism in the film, using a monochromatic palette and sparse dialogue to give the audience the feeling of being in the dark tunnels of the film. (Let’s hope the sensory experience stops there.)
The production’s second unit is led by Holland’s daughter, Kasia Adamik, who recently collaborated with her mother on Jánošík, The True Story.
Hidden is a co-production between Film Studio Zebra (Poland), Schmidtz Katze Filmkollektiv (Germany) and The Film Works (Canada).
