Polanski to shoot film about his childhood
    2017-10-20  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

DIRECTOR Roman Polanski has returned to Poland for the first time since the country’s top court rejected a U.S. extradition request last year to shoot a documentary about his life in wartime Krakow.

Polanski, 84, who had long been sought by U.S. authorities after fleeing the country in the 1970s following a conviction for unlawful sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl, was again in the headlines earlier this month when a former German actress, Renate Langer, claimed the Oscar-winning director raped her in 1972.

Following last December’s decision by Poland’s Supreme Court to reject the U.S. extradition request, Polanski, who has dual French-Polish citizenship, is free to travel to Poland.

Polanski is making documentary — working title “Polansk, Horowitz” — about his childhood and youth in the southern Polish city with his longtime friend, the photographer Ryszard Horowitz.

Polanski was 9 years old when he met Horowitz, then aged 3, in a Jewish ghetto in the city. Horowitz, now 78, is one of the youngest survivors of the Holocaust, and his story was told by Steven Spielberg in the Oscar-winning movie “Schindler’s List.”

Polanski and Horowitz are visiting places neither has seen since the war, including the small village near Krakow where Polanski went into hiding after escaping the ghetto and the apartment where Horowitz developed his first photos. Horowitz has lived for more than 60 years in New York; after fleeing U.S. police in 1978, Polanski has lived in France.

“For us, this film is a great responsibility,” said producer Anna Kokoszka-Romer. “Our main characters entrusted us with their incredibly personal memories. They have so many stories to tell, sometimes it’s really hard for us to keep up.”
