In the News: On Friday, The New York Times reported that ³Hitler and the Germans: Nation and Crime,² an exhibition that focuses on Adolf Hitler at the German Historical Museum in Berlin, has been extended by three weeks because of high attendance. Various propaganda is on display such as posters of Nazi leaders, swastika Christmas decorations and toy soldiers for children. See full article here: http://nyti.ms/hbDoUc. The exhibition has stirred considerable controversy as spokesmen for the museum have highlighted that the extensive collection of propaganda does not glorify Hitler and aims to keep things at ³critical distance². Premiering at the exhibition for the first time in Germany to strong reviews that place the film in historical context, Philippe Mora¹s controversial film Swastika, presents the private life of a dictator, going on picnics and joking with friends and is constructed mostly of home videos shot by Eva Braun. Once booed at Cannes in 1973, the film is now received quite differently since time for ³critical distance² has been allowed.
Essential to any library collection that includes Film Studies, Propaganda, World War II, Germany and Naziism. -- Mallory Jacobs Non-Theatrical Sales and Marketing Manager Kino Lorber Incorporated 333 West 39th Street, Suite 503 New York, NY 10018 (t) 212.629.6880 www.kinolorberedu.com twitter: @kinolorberedu mjac...@kinolorber.com
VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
