Overview

This is the story of a forbidden song that mourned Esteban Ramón. Born in 1914, into a very humble family, the implacable Bercian mountains would be the silent witnesses of a sung tragedy whose notes we should not forget.

Spain: A Country Divided

Obsessively referring to the traumas and wounds that the Spanish civil war (1936-39) and Franco's dictatorship (1939-75) caused in their day no longer serves to explain the impassable abyss of incomprehension and hatred that the abject policies and radical positions adopted by both the right and the left in recent decades have opened up before the citizens of a country that is barely known beyond hackneyed cultural clichés.

María, memorias de una niña de la guerra

The film, directed by Pedro Grimaldi, with his mother as the protagonist, narrates the events unleashed in Jerez since the occupation of the military rebels on July 19, 1936. It is a tribute to the "wounded generation", the one who lost their childhood in the context of the war and the postwar period. Girls and boys who had to mature quickly. But, above all, it is a recognition of a generation of resilient, brave and fighting women who were doubly victims: by the violence of the war itself and by their status as women.

The documentary film by director Bartomeu Vilà relives the experiences of one of the last cinematographers of the Republic, Joan Mariné, exceptional witness to a moment in the history of Catalan cinema that, despite the economic precariousness, the lack of means and the difficult international circumstances, was characterized by its high production, never surpassed, and its innovation in forms and contents. Through the memories and experiences of Joan Mariné (Barcelona, 1920), the documentary takes a tour of the films he filmed during those years of contention, both with the Sindicat d'Espectacles de la CNT/FAI, and later with the production company of the Republican Generalitat, Laya Films.

Night Will Fall

Night Will Fall

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".
