Wednesday, June 8, 6pm, Gateway Film Center, 1550 N. High St.

What is the role of art in bearing witness to abuses of human rights? How do political forces shape public memory following genocide and war? The 2014 film, Night Will Fall, tells the story behind the suppression of Sidney Bernstein and Alfred Hitchcock’s 1945 documentary German Concentration Camps Factual Survey. Bernstein and Hitchcock’s film detailed the horrors of the Holocaust during the liberation of the concentration camps and was kept in British archives for nearly seven decades before being completed. Called a “powerful, must-see documentary” by Variety magazine, Night Will Fall includes clips from the 1945 film as well as interviews with survivors and liberators of the concentration camps.

The screening of Night Will Fall on June 8 will include an introduction by the film’s director, André Singer, and a discussion of the intersections of art, politics, and peace.

Please note that this documentary includes graphic images of the Holocaust and may not be appropriate for guests of all ages.
