From the rise of Nazism to "Nuit de Cristal", 1923-1938

From 13 November 2008 until March 2009

Projections and configuration

The Nazis did not begin their anti-sexual propaganda in 1933. In 1920, they made short political films based on the work of left-wing parties (SPD, KPD) during the Weimar public revolution. In 1933, documentaries inscribed the Third Reich in the long history of Germany, then attempted to provide racial and anti-moth measures for the population. Faced with this propaganda, Western Mocracies are getting organized. The United States made a report in 1938 for the magazine The March of Time. Charles Chaplin, as for him, in The Dictator, puts in sc ne, 'his first film o, the story is bigger than the little wanderer'.

While keeping a critical distance from the film projects, the invited guests will propose a renewed reading of the history of the end of the Weimar public Republic and the six first years of Nazism.

Five appointments are planned for Christian Delage, historian and historian, author of The Nazi Vision of History. The film is a documentary about the Third Reich (The Man’s Age, 1989) and r cemment, of The V laughs, through the image. From Nuremberg to the Proc s Milosevic (Deno l, 2006) , Christian Delage has r alis, the film Nuremberg. The Nazis face their crimes (Arte, 2006).
