#AnneFrank. Parallel Stories – October 21 & 27, 2019 select Cineplex locations LiveEvents October 14, 2019 2563 #AnneFrank. Parallel Stories Anne Frank was born in Frankfurt on 12th June 1929 and this year she would have been 90 years old. The documentary film dedicated to her tells the story of her life through the pages of her diary: an extraordinary text that has made the tragedy of Nazism known to millions of readers all over the world, and revealed the brilliant, enlightening intelligence of a young girl who wanted to become a writer. Helen Mirren will introduce audiences to Anne’s story through the words in her diary. The set will be her room in the secret refuge in Amsterdam, reconstructed in every detail by set designers from the Piccolo Theatre in Milan, founded by Giorgio Strehler, and part of the Union of European Theatres. It is a remarkably faithful, authentic reconstruction of the interior that will take us right back to 1942. The room contains the objects in Anne’s life, the photographs she covered the walls of her room with, and the notebooks she wrote. In this very special cinema event, Academy Award-winning actress Helen Mirren retraces Anne’s life through the pages of her remarkable and enlightening diary, and through the lives of five woman who, as teenage girls, were also deported to concentration camps but escaped the Holocaust.
