Olympia - Fest der Völker

Starting with a long and lyrical overture, evoking the origins of the Olympic Games in ancient Greece, Riefenstahl covers twenty-one athletic events in the first half of this two-part love letter to the human body and spirit, culminating with the marathon, where Jesse Owens became the first track and field athlete to win four gold medals in a single Olympics.

UFO - Das 3. Reich schlägt zurück

One of the greatest mysteries of our century is the occult background of the Third Reich and its secret societies, such as the New Templar Order, the Thule and Vril Society and the “Lords of the Black Sun” (SS). They were the best ancient orientalists of their time - did they know about the existence of extraterrestrial technology in antiquity? The Allies have always denied knowledge of mysterious, antigravity-powered German circular aircraft codenamed “Vril” and “Haunebu” - but they really did exist. Numerous sources unearthed in recent years clearly support their existence as part of the German secret weapons project towards the end of the Second World War. But how far had the plans progressed? Were flying saucers actually used?

Executed as a war criminal in 1947, Hanns Ludin left behind a grieving widow and six young children, the youngest of whom became a filmmaker. It's a fascinating, maddening, sometimes even humorous look at what the director calls "a typical German story." (Film Forum)

JO de Berlin 36, la grande illusion

In August 1936, the Olympic Games, orchestrated by Joseph Goebbels, the Third Reich's Minister of Propaganda, took place in Berlin. This was a vast charm offensive designed to present Germany as a nation that respected the Olympic principles of equality and fraternity. This documentary reveals the political strategies of the Third Reich, which benefited from the complicity of the International Olympic Committee in thwarting calls for a boycott by several countries. Once the games were over, Nazi policy intensified. How could the civilized world turn a blind eye to this "great illusion"? Gretel Bergmann, the German Jewish athlete at the center of a bargaining chip between the German authorities and the US government, and Noël Vandernotte, who won a bronze medal in rowing, share their stories.
