Lappia Helsingissä

The Reindeer Week held in Helsinki in February 1936 was an event. About thirty Lapland reindeer herders set up camp in the vicinity of the Kaisaniemi restaurant in Töölönlahti. The camp was headed by reindeer herder K. J. Holster from Ylitornio. There were 60 reindeer in the pens. The most sought-after delicacy at the Helsinki Lappish village marketplace was "wild-tasting" reindeer meat. The Reindeer Week was a success, with an estimated 50,000 visitors. The documentary about the Reindeer Week, filmed by Arvo Tamminen, contains a rarity: for the first time in a Finnish film, authentic Lapland yoik can be heard in a 100% audio recording at Suomi-Film's Vironkatu studio.

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".
