Ese humo y su historia

“Appearing to be an advertisement for a cigarette factory, this orphan film conceals a utopian project that goes beyond the scope of its original purpose: shot in the Dominican Republic, it consists of illustrations depicting the colonial process, a book of poems by a Dominican writer, the fields of the Cibao region, a man and a woman multiplied by mirrors and smoking, credits that point toward a voice-over narration and songs we never hear, as well as a whole array of film material, perforations, scratches, and secret messages that bind these traces together." - Diego Cepeda

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".
