Moskus - Fortelling om et bilde

The artist Sverre Malling is known for his allegories and his way of implementing motif elements from Norwegian culture in a different context. He made himself even better known outside the art community as the signer in the July 22 trial. In this film, the creators have followed and observed Malling in the creation of the giant work of art «Norwegian muskox»: a drawing of a muskox. We follow every stroke of the canvas in a fascinating study of both the work of art and Malling as an artist, and the great detail work and focus one can have on a project over such a long period of time. The muskox is a slow animal and the film is a tribute to the slowness, which gives a pleasant and meditative pace to the film.

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".
