Polish Dances

In 1936, Eugeniusz Cękalski produced a series of art reportages called Tańce polskie (Polish Dances), which consisted of four films: "Kujawiak", "Highland Dances", "Cracow Dances" and "Silesian Dances". The entire series made its way to Great Britain before the war (it was prepared in an English-language version for foreign distribution), thanks to which it has been preserved to our times. "Polish Dances" are rejects and working materials for these films.

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".
