Gundi Gundermann

This historically relevant documentation about the Lusatian original Gerhard "Gundi" Gundermann, who was received ambivalently at his time, is a truthful, unfalsified contemporary document, both about the folk song singer and excavator driver himself, as well as about the realities of the time within still existing GDR. His actual quality and significance to this day is evident in the timelessness of his profound songs and lyrics, also written for other artists, in their universality and the poetic power of various interpretations.

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".
