Lutz Becker

Documentary, using only contemporary footage, of the Italian - Ethiopian War 1935-1936.

Swastika is a feature length documentary about the way in which the Nazi regime infiltrated the lives of the German population, during 1933-45.

Presents a unique and disturbing look at the rise of the Nazi party. The documentary, directed by Lutz Becker, attempts to remain as objective as possible, serving as a neutral observer of the years 1918 through 1933 in Germany. Via newsreel footage and clips of features from the era, the film offers a kaleidoscopic view of the many elements that fueled the rise of the Socialist Nationalist Party, including post-WWI poverty. Hitler occupies a central place in the documentary.

An innovative homage to the work of Kazimir Malevich and his theory of Suprematism, combining readings from the artist's collected essays with an abstract animation based on one of his unrealised film scripts.

Tightly controlled phasing between a TV camera and its monitor.
