One Minute Is an Eternity for Those Who Are Suffering

An intimate, experimental documentary in which co-director Wesley Pereira turns the camera on himself to explore his daily life, desires, and inner turmoil. Set in his home in Sergipe, Brazil, the film blends mundane routines with candid reflections on sexuality, erotic desire, cinephilia, and mental anguish. Openly gay, Wesley examines his own vulnerability, shame, and longing, creating a raw portrait of queer existence and self-exposure. Fragmented and non-linear, the film stretches time and emotion, embodying its title: one minute can feel like an eternity when suffering. It is a bold, introspective meditation on identity, isolation, and the challenges of living authentically.

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".
