Highly acclaimed, and now showing at the Serpentine South Gallery in London until May 10th, McQueen’s film, ‘Grenfell’, was created in response to the terrible fire that occurred on June 14th 2017 at Grenfell Tower, in North Kensington, West London. The disaster, in which 72 people died, was the country’s worst since the Second World War. Mostly silent, with immersive camerawork, and no credits neither at the beginning nor at the end, the 24-minute film is not a documentary, but a true testimony to the event so that this tragic incident would never be forgotten.
Press on ‘Grenfell’:
Time Out, The Times, Wallpaper, Metro, The Telegraph, BBC, Artforum, Evening Standard, The Art Newspaper and The Guardian.
Produced by LAMMAS PARK’s Executive Producer, Anna Smith Tenser, Amsterdam based Oscar and BAFTA-winning filmmaker and acclaimed artist, Sir Steve McQueen’s documentary feature, ‘Occupied City’, is set to premiere at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. It is based on McQueen’s wife Bianca Stigter’s illustrated history book, ‘Atlas of an Occupied City, Amsterdam 1940-1945’, and explores the period when Amsterdam was under Nazi occupation.
