A film unfinished

a production of Belfilms ; coproduced with Mittle Deutsche Rundfunk MDR; Südwestfunk SWR; Yesdocu ; in cooperation with Arte ; a film by Yael Hersonski ; producers Itay Ken-Tor & Noemi Schory ; written and directed by Yael Hersonski
videorecording (DVD) - 2011

At the end of WWII, 60 minutes of raw film in an East German archive was discovered. Shot by the Nazis in Warsaw in May of 1942, the film became a resource for historians seeking an authentic record of the Warsaw Ghetto. The later discovery of a long-missing reel, including multiple takes and cameramen staging scenes, complicated earlier readings of the footage. Presented is the raw footage in its entirety, falsely showing the 'good life' of Jewish urbanites. Included is an interview, and more.
