Angelos’ Film

This documentary presents an historical account of Athens during WWII using the footage of amateur filmmaker and Greek naval officer Angelos Papanastassiou. Used at the Nuremberg Trials as evidence of Nazi war atrocities, the footage bears witness to the reality and nature of the Italian and subsequent German occupation of Greece, which resulted in the 1941–42 winter famine, house raids, demonstrations and public hangings of partisans. Forgács periodically alerts the viewer to Angelos: the man behind the camera, the patrician, the father and above all, the person who witnessed.
