PSA: The Albany Police Department wants to inform residents and visitors that a film production company will be filming scenes for a movie in downtown Albany on Wednesday, July 23, 2025 and on Thursday, July 24, 2025 from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.

Residents and visitors will notice increased activity, including the presence of film crews, actors, and prop vehicles. The film is a historical production of 1930's Germany. Below is a statement from the production team:

Statement from production team:
"We are honored to be filming scenes for a 1930's set feature film in the Capitol Region, in downtown Albany and Troy, on July 23 and 24.
This is a historical drama and love story set during WWII. Certain scenes explore the experiences of a family living under the threat of rising fascist persecution. As part of this narrative, there will be period-authentic Nazi costumes and imagery that some members of the public may find upsetting. We want to assure the community that this content is being filmed with the utmost care and intended to convey the emotional and historical truth of the era.

We are deeply grateful to the City of Albany, the Albany Police Department, Film Albany, and residents for their support and understanding as we tell this important sensitive story. The filmmakers are working closely with local authorities to ensure that all necessary precautions are taken to minimize disruption and clearly communicate the nature of the scenes to the public.

We appreciate your patience and support as we bring this meaningful story to life."
