‘A Rose in Plain Sight’ – Trailer is out!
We are thrilled to announce the premiere trailer for ‘A Rose in Plain Sight’, a documentary short directed by Chorong Kim, set for release in 2025. This film offers an intimate glimpse into the creative and emotional journey of collaboration between Holocaust child survivor Rose Lipszyc, graphic artist Miriam Libicki, and editors Mark Celinscak and Charlotte Schallié.
At the heart of the documentary is Rose Lipszyc’s story of survival through the Holocaust. Born in Poland, Rose was ten years old when the Nazi invasion of 1939 irrevocably changed her world. In a series of interviews, Rose shares her testimony, reflecting on her escape during deportation in 1942 and her experiences as a forced laborer in Nazi Germany.
‘You’d be surprised how much you survive.’ Rose Lipszyc
The film chronicles the creation of ‘Two Roses’, a graphic novel beautifully illustrated by award-winning artist Miriam Libicki. Through interviews, sketches, and candid moments, viewers witness how Miriam translates Rose’s lived experiences into a visual narrative. The project not only honors Rose’s legacy but also explores how art can bridge generations, fostering understanding and empathy in the process.
‘A Rose in Plain Sight’ is both a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and a compelling exploration of memory’s intersection with art. The film invites audiences to reflect on the continued relevance of learning from Holocaust survivors in their own words.
