Eichmann and the Third Reich
★ 9.01961
MovieDocumentary
Released during the trial of Adolf Eichmann, this documentary uses archival footage and contemporary interviews to examine the crimes of the Third Reich and the bureaucratic machinery behind the Holocaust. Directed by Erwin Leiser, the film situates Eichmann’s prosecution within a broader historical context, confronting German audiences with visual evidence of antisemitism, deportation, and mass murder, including commentary from figures such as Fritz Bauer.

Der 10. Mai
★ 9.01957
MovieDrama
Der 10. Mai (The Tenth of May) was the date in 1940 that Hitler invaded the Low Countries: Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg. Neutral Switzerland, which hadn't experienced a war since the 14th century, hurriedly fortified its borders with battalions of inexperienced soldiers. The panic, confusion and isolated acts of courage which occurred on that fateful day are re-created in this Swiss docudrama. The story is "personalized" by concentrating on a fugitive German soldier (Heinz Reincke) who falls in love with the Swiss girl (Linda Geiser) who shelters him. Produced on a bare-minimum budget, Der 10. Mai is impressive more for its sincerity and raw energy than for its actual cinematic merits.

MovieDramaDocumentary
This film shows contrasting views of women with problematic pregnancies and the outcomes resulting when they seek out a back-alley abortionist, a trained and licensed abortion provider in a clinic, or an obstetrician capable of performing a Caesarian Section. The full film appears to be lost, but shortened versions, including one with dialogue scenes added in Germany in 1935, can be found on the internet. Additionally, Eisenstein's role in making the picture remains unclear: did he direct some or all of it, just edit it, or merely leave it to Alexandrov and Tisse to make? Released in the USA 1930 in a 65 minute (5800 ft.) version with English intertitles and a music track under the title BIRTH.
