Eirik Svensson’s fourth feature,
Betrayed, is a Holocaust drama based on true events that deals with the Norwegian Quisling régime’s share of the guilt for the crimes against the Jews, which included internment in concentration camps and the deportation of men, women and children by sea and rail all the way to Auschwitz, where most of the detainees were killed. It was released directly in theatres in Norway last Christmas, and distribution abroad and a release on DVD and VoD platforms ensued. Its screening at the Belgrade International Film Festival serves as its festival premiere and will probably remain one of the rare festival bookings for the film.
