Hazm kardan dushvor ast

Hazm kardan dushvor ast (Hard to digest) is a short film that weaves together the video archives of women in Nazira Karimi’s family with the archival footage authored by European women from the collection of Vienna’s Filmmuseum. Atop, as a separate layer, comes the filmmaker’s voiceover where she shares a recipe for Central Asian cultural food in her broken German language. Through the lens of food and language, addressing white European feminist perspective, the film delves into the intersection of personal history and cultural identity.

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".
