Congratulations to VCUarts Cinema Professor Rob Tregenza on the recent screening of his film, The Fishing Place, at MoMA this past February.
In this formally inventive historical drama, acclaimed American filmmaker Rob Tregenza explores the moral complexities of World War II and the permutations of history and its representation. Set in occupied Norway, The Fishing Place—presented here in its North American premiere—follows Anna (Ellen Dorrit Petersen), a housekeeper who arrives to work for a German priest in rural Telemark. As the priest grapples with his faith amid the corruption of power, Anna navigates her own secrets through clandestine meetings with a local SS officer.
