19.5.23 - Steve McQueen 'Occupied City' premieres at the Cannes Film Festival Steve McQueen’s documentary ‘Occupied City’ premiered this week at the Cannes Film Festival.
 
The past collides with our precarious present in Steve McQueen’s feature documentary 'Occupied City', informed by the book 'Atlas of an Occupied City (Amsterdam 1940-1945)' written by Bianca Stigter. McQueen creates two interlocking portraits: a door-to-door excavation of the Nazi occupation that still haunts his adopted city, and a vivid journey through the last years of pandemic and protest. What emerges is an expansive meditation on memory, time, and where we are headed.
