The first co-produced Israeli-Polish movie started filming this week in Warsaw.
“Spring 1941,” starring British Oscar-winner Joseph Fiennes, is the story of a cellist’s return to Poland three decades after World War II and her recollections of the Nazi occupation. The movie is based on stories by Ida Fink, a Holocaust survivor who immigrated to Israel from Poland in 1957.
Israel’s Uri Barbash is directing the $2.5 million film, which is being produced by Poland’s Opus Film and Traxis Films of Israel.
