Apprentis Utopistes

In March 2000, the Institut d'Études Politiques de Lille was occupied for ten days by the Comité des Sans Papiers de Lille, which had been fighting for four years for the regularisation of undocumented migrants. For ten long days and nights, this emblematic initiative transformed this nursery of republican aristocracy into a microcosm, an echo chamber where a dissonant polyphony resounds.

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".
