Arqueologia no DOI-Codi: Rompendo o Silêncio

The film portrays the archaeological excavations carried out at the headquarters of the now-defunct DOI-Codi (Information Operations Detachment – ​​Internal Defense Operations Center), a place where, it is estimated, more than 7,000 political prisoners experienced torture and horror. The complex of five buildings, listed in 2014, operated from 1969 to 1983 as a repressive agency of the brazilian military dictatorship. The researchers' search for material remains and evidence of the passage of victims of repression through the site, such as inscriptions on the walls, personal objects and paper records, is essential to keeping alive the memory of the atrocities of the military dictatorship in Brazil.

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".
