Nelly & Nadine
EIFF is pleased to welcome Magnus Gertten to Edinburgh this Summer to present Nelly & Nadine and meet audiences in a post-screening Q&A.
This strikingly researched documentary excavates and celebrates the profound love that developed between Nelly and Nadine, two women who met in Ravensbrück concentration camp and became each other’s lifeline and lifelong partner. Through archive photos, super 8 reels and memoirs that had been gathering dust in the family’s attic, we can now follow their magnificent global journey and tap into queer histories largely untouched by mainstream narratives. A tender and inspirational gem. [15] Evi Tsiligaridou
