Collège

For five weeks in November and December 1995, the filmmaker followed life at the Paul Vaillant-Couturier junior secondary school at Champigny sur Marne. Although it is a standard shool, it also has a special SEGPA section (General and Adapted Professional Education Stream), as well as a class for non-French-speaking children, known as the "NFs". Twenty seven nationalities were present in the school at the time of shooting. Filming school activities, lessons in the different sections, professional guidance interviews, the search for training courses, the annual cross country race and administrative jobs, the filmmaker gives a direct uncommented account of the current challenges facing state schools.

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".
