What to expect
A double bill at the 2026 Hong Kong Jewish Film Festival. The first half, 'Ice Cream Man', follows a Jewish ice cream parlour owner in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands who is singled out by Klaus Barbie. The second, 'Holofiction', is a documentary by Michał Kosakowski that stitches together scenes from over 3,000 Holocaust-related movies made since 1938. It plays without narration, letting the sheer volume of cinematic representation speak for itself — a direct counterpoint to Claude Lanzmann's argument that any fictionalisation of the Holocaust is a transgression. The programme runs 118 minutes and screens on 9 November 2026. The drama is a contained, character-driven pressure cooker; the documentary is an archival montage that will land best with viewers already familiar with the debates around Holocaust representation on screen.
