A Hole In The Head

Diera v hlave; Robert Kirchhoff, 2016, versions: OR,SS, languages: ces, deu, fra, hrv, pol, slk, srp

Director: Robert Kirchhoff • Scenario: Robert Kirchhoff • Camera: Juraj Chlpík • Sound: Václav Fégl • Haircut: Jan Daňhel • Dramaturge: Jan Gogola • Cast: Raymond Gurême, Fata Dedić, Nadir Dedić, Toti Dedić, Ladislav Welward, Ján Konček, Krystyna Gil, Karol Parno Gierliński, Rita Prigmore, Philomena Franz, Dragoljub Acković, Daniel Vojak, Fedor Gál, Markus Pape, Jan Hauer, Arnošt Vintr

Everyone knows about the Roma holocaust, but no one talks about it. The process of eliminating memories of it began more or less at the end of the Second World War, when many mass graves in work and detention camps remained intact. Even for the winners, the Roma were “second class” victims. In a number of European countries (France, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Germany, Croatia, Serbia), the director confronts a forgetful present with memories of the last surviving witnesses of these horrific events. They survived, yet they each have their memory and scars as proof. In a world where fascism is once again prevalent, they are one of the last living witnesses to the Holocaust. They exist with a hole in their head, an imprint from the past. The partially scripted and staged documentary is an elegy to the victims of a monstrous regime and human indifference.
