Hitler's Hollywood
Streaming video - 2018
About 1000 feature films were made in Germany in the years between 1933-45. Only a few were overtly Nazi propaganda films. But by the same token, even fewer of them can be considered harmless entertainment. What does cinema know that we don’t know? In his world-renowned and groundbreaking documentary, film historian and critic Siegfried Kracauer, developed the idea of cinema as seismograph of its context and origin – a bellwether for the cultural unconscious of its period – with fascinating results. HITLER'S HOLLYWOOD asks what the Nazi cinema of the Third Reich reveals about its period and its people. How did the open lies and hidden truths in these films affect the future of German cinema? And what consequences can we draw from... these findings? Official selection at the **Telluride Film Festival**. Nominated for The Lia Van Leer Award at the **Jerusalem Film Festival**. *"Fascinating for history and film buffs alike." - Frank Scheck, **Hollywood Reporter***
