MOVIE DESCRIPTION
Combining both color and black and white archival footage (shot by soldiers), Night and Fog is a vivid documentary of the atrocities committed in the Nazi Concentration Camps. Directed by French legend Alain Resnais, this film is one of the earliest reflections on the Jewish Holocaust. Night and Fog has been a major influence on the treatment of the Holocaust as subject matter for film.

Though only a short subject, this groundbreaking documentary remains one of the most influential and powerful explorations of the Holocaust ever made. Director Alain Resnais bluntly presents an indictment not only of the Nazis but of the world community, and the film is all the more remarkable for its harsh judgment considering the time in which it was made, less than a decade after the end of the war, when questions of responsibility were not yet being addressed. Juxtaposing archival clips from the concentration camps across Germany and Poland with the present-day denials of the camps' existence, the film seeks to once and for all expose the horrifying truth of the Final Solution, as well as to address the continuing anti-Semitism and bigotry that existed long after the war's end. An invaluable resource and testament to history, this film was a profound influence on all films to address issues of the Holocaust, from Judgment at Nuremberg and Shoah to Schindler's List. Night and Fog remains an essential and indispensable document of the 20th century. --Robert Lane
