A24 is expected to release their 4-hour documentary OCCUPIED CITY on VOD and digital platforms next week, arriving on February 23rd, 2024. The film world premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival before opening in US theaters in limited release on December 25th, 2023. Please note: A24 has neither announced nor confirmed the release date.

The past collides with our precarious present in Steve McQueen’s bravura documentary Occupied City, informed by the book Atlas of an Occupied City (Amsterdam 1940-1945) written by Bianca Stigter. McQueen creates two interlocking portraits: a door-to-door excavation of the Nazi occupation that still haunts his adopted city, and a vivid journey through the last years of pandemic and protest. What emerges is both devastating and life-affirming, an expansive meditation on memory, time, and where we’re headed.

We’ve added the release date to our streaming calendar.
