Pavúk

A portrait of the controversial figure of Czechoslovak mountaineering, Pavel Pochylý (1945–2000), nicknamed Pavouk (Spider). He lived by the credo that impossible is just one of many possibilities. His life story is still breathtaking today. He lived in the golden age of mountaineering. Pochylý is largely responsible for the fact that the space for achievements and problem solving in the Tatras has narrowed. He solved all the most significant challenges of the steep Tatra walls, thus indelibly writing himself into the history of Czechoslovak mountaineering.

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".
