And the Past Seems Like a Dream…

The ship sails down the Yenisei River to the city of Igarka. Its passengers are those who in the 1930s and 1940s were repressed, exiled here and lived here for some part of their lives. Those who survived, half a century later, want to return to their own past. It's fun on the boat now. A song is being sung about "... everything will pass, both sadness and joy." Former "convicts" and "special settlers" relax in deck chairs on the deck, in the evenings they dance there to the orchestra, sing to the accordion - and calmly, without anguish, remember the destroyed, crumpled youth. Then some were signed up as fists, others as spies, and all of them were sent to Igarka, almost to the end of the world. And although this past seems like a dream, they cannot escape from it...

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".

Iverson

Iverson is the ultimate legacy of NBA legend Allen Iverson, who rose from a childhood of crushing poverty in Hampton, Virginia, to become an 11-time NBA All-Star and universally recognized icon of his sport. Off the court, his audacious rejection of conservative NBA convention and unapologetic embrace of hip hop culture sent shockwaves throughout the league and influenced an entire generation. Told largely in Iverson's own words, the film charts the career highs and lows of one of the most distinctive and accomplished figures the sport of basketball has ever seen.
