Two Kaamos’ – Two Polar Nights

Two Kaamos’ – Two Polar Nights depicts collecting beautifully as a passion. From Northern Finland, Maarit has spent years collecting Elsa Montell’s ‘raanu’ tapestries. Even though for Maarit, the tapestries are full of emotion and meanings, she keeps her collection locked away in a closet. They can only momentarily be admired by others and interpreted by experts. The film asks necessary questions about yearning for beauty and meaning, the joy of owning, and our current relationship to things.

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".
