Hello, I'm Gerrie Timmerman and this is a new podcast series about my feature film project: The Magician's Daughter aka Disappearing Act.
The movie is partly based on my life: The magician's daughter.
I am a filmmaker and daughter of the fairly unknown Dutch magician Timanini.
But the film is also, and not in the least, about the life of the Jewish magician Ben Ali Libi, who vanished in the Holocaust and how his life and mine influenced each other in unexpected ways.
The Sufi mystic and poet Rumi said: “What you seek, is seeking you.”
That perfectly says what the movie The Magician’s Daughter is all about.
As the filmmaker has to overcome the challenges to find the truth behind a Jewish magician’s disappearance in WWII, she does not only find a magician, but also herself.
Did I give the ending away, is this a spoiler alert? Definitely not, keep tuning in
as I take you into the different tunnels of the magician’s rabbit hole.
And who knows, you might find you in this story as well.
