Dorfliebe

Ute and Werner Mahler are among the most important contemporary German photographers. They are famous for their photographs in the GDR magazine SIBYLLE and as co-founders of the OSTKREUZ photo agency. Ute Mahler was born at the end of October 1949 in the village of Berka an der Wipper in the Kyffhäuserkreis district of Thuringia. Her father was a master miller, and her home was the mill. DORFLIEBE shows Berka from the 1950s to the present day through the photographs of the Mahlers—and Ute Mahler's father Ludwig Schirmer, a passionate amateur photographer. The film gradually reveals the Mahlers' relationship with Berka and its inhabitants. A Heimatfilm – a film about home – that also shows how the people of Berka repeatedly struggle to build a new life for themselves: after the war, under socialism, in the period around 1989, and as citizens of the Federal Republic of Germany.

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".
