Berlin - 2. Juni 67

The documentary, produced by the General Student Committee of Freie Universität Berlin, documents the brutal police crackdowns on anti-Shah demonstrators, preserves evidence, interviews eyewitnesses, and confronts thugs with film and photographic evidence. Thomas Giefer and Hans-Rüdiger Minow interpret the police assaults as “the first attempts to implement the state of emergency against an extra-parliamentary opposition seeking to prevent it.” The film aims to create a counter-public sphere and calls on viewers to stop the anti-democratic forces and resist.

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".
