Sometimes all you need in cold afternoon is a good cup of tea, a warm plaid and a movie about Nazis getting killed by angry Chinese on classical and jazzy 30’s song. Exodus to Shangai is just the perfect movie for that type of feeling.
The movie is about the not so known story of Dr Ho, a chineese ambassador in Vienna in the beginning of WW2 who helped thousands of helpless jews to cross the border and go to Shangai with visas issued by the Chinese consul in Vienna. Even though...
Directed by Anthony Hickox (“Knife Edge” and “Consequence”), “Exodus to Shanghai” (2015) is an action/drama/comedy based on the true story of war hero Ho Feng-Shan ('Dr. Ho'), otherwise known as 'The Chinese Schindler' who saved thousands of Jews during WWII. Born on September 10, 1901, Dr. Ho studied German at University of Munich and was posted for the consul general in Austria from 1938 to 19...
Michel Adams reveals a new side of WWII history with this original movie, based on real events. At turns tragic and appalling, romantic and aesthetical, Exodus to Shanghai delves into the unknown story of Dr. Ho, a war time hero who is today seen as "the Chinese Schindler".
With a great sense of humor and a special attention given to the composition of shots, the movie pays a new tribute to the exodus that thousands of Jewish people have endured in the wake of Hitler's ris...
A very special sidebar will be the presentation in the EFM (European Film Market) and elsewhere by invitation only of "Exodus to Shanghai" a new film by London born Anthony Hickox. This film takes up a little known aspect of the pre-Holocaust when a large number of Jews in Berlin were bailed out by the Chinese and given safe transit to Shanghai.
Ho the Chinese Consul in Vienna in 1938 issued Exit Visas to many Jews against the instruction of his superiors. Together w...

Exodus to Shanghai had it’s market premiere at the Deutsche Film und Fernsehakademie, 66. Berlinale on Friday, February 12.
Based on true events, Exodus to Shanghai is a love story of West loves East, Jews and Chinese united with violins, interrupted by the Nazi invasion of Austria in 1938.

The Courtyard of the Old Residency in Munich, Adolf Hitler, 1914.
This painting suggests military camouflage rather than quiet village life.
Yes, Adolf Hitler, claimed to be a painter. And he produced hundreds of works and sold his paintings and postcards to try to earn a living during his Vienna years (1908–13). However, he was not successful.
In his autobiography Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler described how, in his youth, he wanted to become a profession...

History, on-a-loop, has shown that it is just not only an ontological possibility but a historical reality.
Which is why we root for the underdogs, the davids, the oppressed.
Which is why we like movies like Schindler's List or movies like Exodus to Shanghai.
Based on a true story of Dr. Feng Shan Ho the Chinese Consul of Vienna. Dr. Ho, sometimes refered to as the Chinese Schindler, is even opposed by his own superior in Berlin who needs help from Ger...
When I was about to watch that movie, I was like « another movie about the WW2, well I hope I won’t fall asleep until the end… ». Actually I was wrong; I was awake during all the hour and I had quite a good time. Exodus to Shanghai is actually the type of movie that catches your attention in the beginning (just because you want to see how it’ll succeed the challenge). I think if Tarantino was obligated to realize a remake of Inglorious Bastard with Ryan Murphy: the...
Exodus to Shanghai is an unique movie that gives a different point of view of the Second World War : a love story in Vienna during the Anschluss that happens thanks to the Chinese Ambassador at the time in Vienna, Ho Feng-Shan. It's a movie with a lot of action too (sometimes scary !) that shows the Nazi craziness but at the same time has beautiful colors and film set ! So yes, there's still hope and one can always be surprised by the strength and the kindness of people !
Don't wa...
