Gustavo Bueno. La vuelta a la caverna

At 91 years old, Gustavo Bueno is a living example of the philosopher, in the sense that Plato gave to this activity in his myth of the cave 2,500 years ago: in our complex world saturated with information, objects and ideas that often stun us, philosophical criticism allows us to reinterpret the appearances and shadows to which we are chained. The role of the philosopher is to constantly return to the cave to undo its shadows, as Gustavo Bueno literally did when he went down into the mines in the 70s or when he went to television sets to debate about "Gran Hermano".

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".
