Facing the Monster

At the beginning of the 1990s the state of Yugoslavia collapsed, and resistance to the madness of war was strongest in Belgrade, where anti-war actions and movements opposing the Serbian nationalist regime brought together intellectuals, artists, and anti-regime individuals—most notably in a nonpartisan group called the Belgrade Circle. This is a documentary film that portrays the struggle to keep alive the fight for truth and dignity by bravely confronting the crimes committed in the name of the nation.

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".
