Rompenieblas, una historia de psicoanálisis y dictadura

What social and political commitment did the disappeared psychologists have? Why were some movements persecuted while others, like psychoanalysis, were able to reaffirm their development? These are some of the questions filmmaker Jana Kraselsky asks when she is hired to film a documentary. (...) Rompenieblas works on the suspicion that psychoanalysis had such an impact in Argentina because its expansion took place during the last dictatorship, since, protected by the scientific postulate of neutrality, social and political matters were left out of psychoanalytic institutions.

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".
