Marfa
Marfa is a town on the borderlands of Texas. A place out of time. A desert where strange lights dance in the night sky. A mecca for lovers of minimalist art. A landscape of lost horses, freaks and food trucks. And then there’s the giant lemon.

I thought the phonetic of the title suggested something altogether more risqué, instead of this collection of sketches of the real town of the same name. It’s in Texas and these drawings, as well as some snippets of commentaries from it's residents, present us with an eclectic mix of it’s citizenry, structures, it’s singularly unique “festival” - and then there’s a lemon in there too. The animation is rudimentarily, but engagingly enough presented in quite a quickly paced fashion with the images delivered in a rapid-fire fashion as the stories suggest there is way more going on in this town that it’s size might suggest. I didn’t much like the abstract construction of this film, though, and it’s randomness didn’t really work for me but it’s an imaginative eight minutes that might leave you thinking the town belongs in an edition of “Tales of the Unexpected”!

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".
