Mottenburg

In January 1985, a group of young people occupied the vacant factory premises at Mottenburger Straße 10 in Ottensen. They were defending themselves against the redevelopment of the »demolished district«, which would drive the old tenants into the »new housing clinks«. The squatters started to renovate, cook together and organize punk concerts. After barely two weeks, they are evicted by the police and the owner, who wants to build subsidized apartments on the site and has the buildings made uninhabitable – all documented on video by the Medienpädagogik Zentrum Hamburg (MPZ).

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".
