A Film Unfinished
(2010) At the end of WWII, 60 minutes of raw film, having sat undisturbed in an East German archive, was discovered. Shot by the Nazis in Warsaw in May 1942, and labeled simply "Ghetto," this footage quickly became a resource for historians seeking an authentic record of the Warsaw Ghetto. However, the later discovery of a long-missing reel, with multiple takes and cameraman staging scenes, complicated earlier readings of the footage. This film presents the raw footage in its entirety, carefully noting fictionalized sequences (including a staged dinner party) falsely showing "the good life" enjoyed by Jewish urbanites, and probes deep into the making of a now-infamous Nazi propaganda film. "A Film Unfinished" is a film of enormous import, documenting some of the worst horrors of our time and exposing the efforts of its perpetrators to propel their agenda and cast it in a favorable light. Extras: "Death Mills" (1945), a documentary shot from within concentration camps, post liberation, by Billy Wilder; interview with author and film researcher Adrian Wood; more. (Oscilloscope Laboratories).
