During the Italian and German occupations of Greece during WWII, a prominent Athenian industrialist, Angelos Papanastassiou, risked his life to make clandestine film recordings of the occupying armies. Instead of neat rows of soldiers marching in lockstep, we are presented with tank treads, fleeting images of an armed bicycle brigade on its way to an execution, and the location of freshly constructed machine gun nests. This unrelenting, dark footage, including graphic depictions of wartime atrocities, is intercut with Angelos's home movies. Loving shots of his daughter's first few years of life document birthdays, family gatherings, and holidays, in addition to everyday scenes of bathing, nursing, and child play. (Margaret Mead would certainly approve!) A master of found footage, Péter Forgács uses step printing in ways both rigorous and illuminating. The resulting film is one of schizophrenic grace, as one imagines this man edging his way between two worlds-one bound together by love, the other by hate.-Thor Anderson (60 mins, Video, From Lumen Film)Preceded by short:The Walnut Tree (Elida Schogt, Canada, 2000). As in her earlier experimental film Zyklon Portrait, Schogt hauntingly explores her family's experience as Jews in World War II. Here her mother recounts the story of being sent into hiding as a child in Holland, and shares her last memories of her parents, who died in concentration camps.
