במעבר

בתקופה הראשונה שלאחר מלחמת העולם השנייה, קבוצה גדולה של שבויי מלחמה גרמנים נשלחים למחנה סובייטי של אסירות, שמרבית הצוות בו מורכב מנשים. הסיבה לכך היא רצון השלטונות לנבור במסה האנושית על מנת לאתר בתוכה את קציני ה-SS המסתתרים כחלק מהחיילים הפשוטים, על מנת להביאם במהרה לעמוד התלייה כפושעי מלחמה. בראש צוות הנשים שאמורות לפתות ולהוציא מהם אינפורמציה עומדת רופאה מלאת כריזמה.

My War

"Mein Krieg" is a singular documentary view of World War 2 through the eyes of six German soldiers carrying home-movie cameras through training, combat and a devastated Belorussia. These six Wehrmacht infantrymen created documents of the war and captured the unique moments of humanity in the harsh reality of the war. This footage, much of it in color, offers a soldier's eye view of the German army day-to-day activities as it advanced into USSR during 1942. The only narrative voices are those of the soldiers who, fifty years later, recall the transgressions of their youth, recount the social pressures that...

The Great Dictator

Charlie Chaplin’s first “talkie”. A satiric attack on Hitler and Nazism, telling the story of an amnesiac Jewish barber (based on Chaplin’s “tramp”), who happens to resemble Hitler.

When he tries to return to his barbershop upon his release, he finds that it is inside the Jewish ghetto, controlled by SA thugs. Although The Great Dictator was made when the world did not yet know the whole...
