Claude Lanzmann spent 12 years creating SHOAH, a groundbreaking. 9-hour film that redefined Holocaust representation.  40 years later, in All I Had Was Nothingness, filmmaker Guillaume Ribot explores 220 hours of unreleased footage shot throughout Lanzmann’s quest to capture the reality of the Holocaust.  Overcoming doubt, setbacks, and false leads, Lanzmann’s unparalleled journey – interviewing victims, witnesses, and perpetrators from all over the world – culminated in a landmark masterpiece, now part of UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register. Using only Lanzmann’s own words drawn from his memoirs and never-before-seen excerpts, Guillaume Ribot pays homage to one of cinema’s masterpieces and to its director’s relentless pursuit of telling the untold.

Winner: Best Documentary, 2025 Toronto Jewish Film Festival
