Evening Bell

The film is built as if out of nothing, actually growing out of that "web" of human relations on which the world rests. The motive of separation from the roots is present in the film, as well as the motive of restoring the way of life, returning vitality. Yuri Shiller's handwriting is special, it is recognizable in the rhythms of intra—frame editing, in branded driveways and panoramas, where, as it were, disorganized life acquires an unflattering depth, and the finiteness of the time allotted to a person, the nature surrounding him, and the world at home in general becomes physically palpable.

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".
