The Boy Is Gone: East Belgium in the 1940s

A little boy dreams of soaring through the skies as a pilot. He joins a gliding club where he spends his free time, while all around him in Europe, a war rages whose full scope he can hardly comprehend.

As a child, director Christoph Bohn finds a photo of his father in uniform in a cardboard box.

As an adult, he sets out to uncover the dark story behind that image; he creates an original film weaving archival footage, animation, and eyewitness testimonies into an extraordinary documentary.

Following the screening, there will be a Q&A session with director Christoph Bohn.
