1977, casa tomada

On September 15, 1977, a blind couple and their three-year-old son, Iván, disappeared from their home in a repressive operation led by the Army, the Police, and the Gendarmerie. The child was later handed over to the couple's relatives. The house was occupied for 17 years by the Guarnic Center for Retired Non-Commissioned Officers and Gendarmes. The documentary aims to rescue memory; it focuses on a single character, Negrita, the mother of the disappeared blind woman, and her struggle. The intention is to shed light on an event that was kept hidden by the official narrative, and to highlight, in Mostar, the irreparable damage it causes.

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".
