Aprašymas

In occupied France, the Nazis pursued aggressive, tightly orchestrated measures designed to monopolize the French market and foster agitation against Americans, Jews, Communists, and others. The documentary was one instrument of propaganda employed by the Nazi occupiers, as well as the Vichy government and collaborationists. Nearly two hundred of those documentaries have been restored by the French Film Archives.Jean-Pierre Bertin-Maghit s Propaganda Documentaries in France: 1940-1944 is the first volume specifically devoted to non-fiction propaganda film distributed in France during the Dark Years of the German Occupation. This volume provides a concise overview of the Vichy and German film policies, including the purchase of an extensive network of cinemas, many of which were expropriated from Jewish owners, banning successful pre-war American and French feature films, and flooding theaters with propagandist titles. The book also illustrates how ideological priorities and political negotiations played out in the content of both topical documentaries and weekly newsreels, juxtaposing Vichy s integrationist propaganda with German-sponsored documentaries of agitation and exclusion.While documentaries are the primary focus of this work, Bertin-Maghit also discusses other forms of propaganda, such as newsreels and posters. Appearing in English translation for the first time and featuring a filmography of 178 works Propaganda Documentaries in France: 1940-1944 is a provocative and wide-ranging work of history and cinema that will be of interest to film scholars and historians as well as to sociologists and political scientists."
