HBO Documentary Films has bought the American television rights to “Claude Lanzmann: Spectres of the Shoah,” according to the Hollywood Reporter. The film is a portrait of the French director who is best known for his monumental nine and a half hour 1985 Holocaust documentary “Shoah.”
The new movie portrait of Lanzmann, which was produced, directed and written by Toronto-based director Adam Benzine, is to air on HBO next year, possibly on Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Reporter said. It traces what the Reporter described as Lanzmann’s “harrowing artistic journey” between 1973 and 1985 in making “Shoah.”
