2006 - 1892 = 114 ans

The film "2006-1982 = 114 ans / Jahre" is part of a larger film project based on a 114-year-old event: As part of an expedition led by German officer Hans Ramsay into the so-called hinterland of Cameroon, the chief of the Yambassa, Bisselé Akaba, abducted and executed. He is the great-grandfather of Moise Merlin Mabouna. The video is less intended to contribute to a comprehensive account of history than to question the contexts of forms of knowledge and memory where representations become plausible and powerful. Here, the return of the Ndjaman to Brandenburg promises a future that will be post-colonial because it transcontinentalizes the voice of its history and has the construction of a 'here' and a 'elsewhere'.

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".
