A new animated film from the director of “Waltz with Bashir” depicts Anne Frank’s life and the famous diary from her hiding place.
“Where is Anne Frank” is about Kitty, the fictional friend that Anne talks to in her diary that comes to life in the museum that was once the Frank family’s hiding place. Through the diary, Kitty’s memories are revived, because if Kitty is alive, it must mean that Anne is also alive. Kitty embarks on a quest that will take her from today’s Amsterdam and back to war-torn Europe to find her old friend.
Here is the trailer:
The film had its world premiere during the Cannes Film Festival and is a family film that both touches and speaks to its contemporaries. Oscar-winning Ari Folman (“Waltz with Bashir”) depicts Anne Frank’s life and the diary that has now become world famous. With two different forms of animation and strong voice acting, “Where is Anne Frank” is described as a unique film about one of literature’s strongest voices.
The film will have its cinema premiere on August 26, 2022.
