VENICE 2025 – FILM FESTIVAL

The 82nd Venice International Film Festival kicks off the fall festival season again, August 27th to September 6th, 2025.

Martijn Van Broekhuizen, NSC shot ETTY, which will be premiering in two parts Out of Competition. Bravissimo!

Hagai Levi wrote and directed all episodes of the series, which follows twenty-seven year-old Jewish Etty Hillesum as she begins therapy in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam. What starts as personal exploration becomes a spiritual awakening, documented in her diaries.

Guided by psycho-chirologist Julius Spier, her mentor and lover, she undergoes a radical inner transformation. She’ll discover that even when all is taken, one can remain free within.

You can catch ETTY on the Lido September 1st – 3rd.
