OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Part of the Oxford Shorts 2025: Film Festival
The Commandant’s Shadow tells the story of the aftermath of atrocity. It follows the son and grandson of the Commandant of Auschwitz as well as a survivor and her daughter as they seek to come to terms with the past, and with each other… an exploration of how events that happened eight decades ago can produce shockwaves that ripple down the generations. Set in the present, it follows the protagonists as they deal with trauma, guilt and moral ambiguity. Join the director Daniela Völker, executive producers Gloria Abramoff and Wendy Robins and Production Manager Laura Jones for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at this eye-opening film.
The main festival runs from Friday 4 April to Sunday 6 April. All films will be screened in the Auditorium at St John’s, many of which will be followed by Q&As.
