Champagner für die Augen - Gift für den Rest

"The feeling of life in Munich in the 70s through the eyes of one of the most stylish filmmakers of that time."

A spirit of optimism, structural change, emancipation: by showing excerpts from his films such as LIEBE, SO SCHÖN WIEBE (1971), SYLVIE (1973), IDOLE (1976) and AMORE (1978), Klaus Lemke tells his story of the decade, now half a century ago, that was so formative for Munich, with sentences such as: "Back then, we all thought life was eating out of our hands, then in the '80s we became fodder ourselves."

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".
