Double Headed Eagle: Hitler's Rise to Power 1918-1933
Director
Presents a unique and disturbing look at the rise of the Nazi party. The documentary, directed by Lutz Becker, attempts to remain as objective as possible, serving as a neutral observer of the years 1918 through 1933 in Germany. Via newsreel footage and clips of features from the era, the film offers a kaleidoscopic view of the many elements that fueled the rise of the Socialist Nationalist Party, including post-WWI poverty. Hitler occupies a central place in the documentary.
Malevitch Suprematism
Director
An innovative homage to the work of Kazimir Malevich and his theory of Suprematism, combining readings from the artist's collected essays with an abstract animation based on one of his unrealised film scripts.
Horizon
