Film Emigration From Nazi Germany - 1975 - 6/10
AKA - Filmemigration aus Nazideutschland
Documentary made in the late 1960’s consists of interviews with those who fled Nazi Germany, or their descendants.
Five episodes, each with its own focus;
1 Why leave? Who helped them leave?
2 Those who went to France, Belgium, England. Worse antisemitism, work restrictions.
3 USA. Unions refusal techs, writers can only make suggestions. Free reins to composers and directors.
4 Hollywood restricts acting roles: Nazis, professors, scientists, later Communists and terrorists
5 War over. Return to Germany or remain? Forever an outsider.
These are long take, often labored interviews, and may be wearisome to casual viewers.
For cinema connoisseurs, this is a fascinating back alley.
