We Shall Build Our New Myth…

We all loved the movie about the Winter Storm. We liked how the Aurora shoots at the palace and paves the way with fire for the stormtroopers, who picturesquely climb the lattice gates. However, in fact, the Winter One did not need to be stormed at all. And anyway, the real events of October 17th looked much more prosaic. Meanwhile, the new government needed its own mythology of the "Great Coup", corresponding to its ideological dogmas and, at the same time, bright, impressive, capable of mobilizing the masses. All available cultural resources and, above all, the resources of cinema, which was not accidentally awarded the title of "the most important of the arts", were thrown into the creation of this mythology...

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
