Vistas de Santo Domingo

“All three films made by Palau may be considered lost, but it is possible to see footage from his personal film archive in “Tras Las Huellas de Palau” (René Fortunato, 1985), used as b-roll material. In one of the shots, a large poster can be seen outside a theatre promoting Secrets (Frank Borzage, 1933). From this hint, we could say that some of these shots could date from that year, or the following. I have never understood how these surviving reels are not properly collected and preserved for what they are: some of our first moving images”. - Diego Cepeda

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".
