From the rise of Nazism to the «Crystal Night», 1923-1938

From 13 November 2008 until March 2009

Projections and conferences

The Nazis did not begin their chemical propaganda in 1933. In the 1920s, they made short political films similar to those of the left-wing parties (SPD, KPD) during the Weimar Republic. In 1933, documentaries place the Third Reich in the long history of Germany and then try to persuade the population to adopt racial and anti-mite measures. Faced with this propaganda, the western democracies are organizing themselves. In 1938, the USA published a report for The March of Time. Charles Chaplin, as for him, in Le Dictateur, met en ce, 'his first film o the story is bigger than the little vagabond'.

While putting a critical distance between the film projects, the conference invites will propose a renewable reading of the history of the end of the Weimar Republic and the six Nazi prizes.

Five meetings per Christian Delage, historian and r alisator The Nazi vision of history. The documentary film of the Third Reich (L'ge d'Homme, 1989) and recently The V laughs by the image. From Nuremberg to Milosevic (Deno l, 2006), Christian Delage a r alis the film Nuremberg. Nazis face their crimes (Arte, 2006).
