Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Paltrow shot on expired 16mm stock from the 1960s; some rolls were partially damaged, creating accidental 'memory gaps' in the image.
The Eichmann trial was televised globally and shaped Holocaust consciousness, yet June Zero deliberately sidelines the spectacle for the invisible labor surrounding it.
