A very special sidebar will be the presentation in the EFM (European Film Market) and elsewhere by invitation only of "Exodus to Shanghai" a new film by London born Anthony Hickox. This film takes up a little known aspect of the pre-Holocaust when a large number of Jews in Berlin were bailed out by the Chinese and given safe transit to Shanghai.

Ho the Chinese Consul in Vienna in 1938 issued Exit Visas to many Jews against the instruction of his superiors. Together with Fannia and Bruce they must leave Vienna as the Gestapo is after them trying to repossess a portrait of Hitler. Some of these Jews were anything but mild sheep and fought back: As the poster informs us, "The only good Nazi is a Dead Nazi".

Shades of Tarantino's Inglorious Berstards.
