Skwigly
The upcoming 2D animated feature My Father’s Secrets, produced by Je Suis Bien Content (April and the Extraordinary World) and Left Field Ventures (Madame Bovery), has announced its release date for UK and Ireland digital platforms as November 27th.
In the 60s, in Belgium, Michel and his brother Charly live a happy childhood in their Jewish family, while their silent and discreet father, Henri Kichka, refuses to reveal his past. The two brothers imagine him as a great adventurer, pirate, or treasure hunter….but what is he hiding? Unwilling to share his traumatic history of survival in Auschwitz; this is the story of Henri’s children, and their journey to understanding their father’s past. A heartrending yet deeply uplifting tale of remembrance, love and the triumph of the human spirit.
Based on a graphic novel by acclaimed cartoonist Michel Kichka, My Father’s Secrets features a star-studded voice cast including Elliott Gould (The Long Goodbye, M*A*S*H), Miriam Margolyes (Harry Potter franchise), Tracy-Ann Oberman (Doctor Who) and David Baddiel. My Father’s Secrets is directed by Vera Belmont, with David Freeman directing the English language version.
My Father’s Secrets will have its UK Premiere at the UK Jewish Film Festival on 16 November including a Q&A with David Baddiel and director David Freedman (Tickets)
