The Moviemakers: Spielberg(2023)
"With over 50 years in the industry, not many filmmakers can boast the longevity and influence of Steven Spielberg, whose journey from the suburbs of Arizona to the spotlight of Hollywood is one of the greatest stories ever told. From the birth of the blockbuster era in the 1970s, through the emergence of visual effects in the 1990s, and even today, in a cinematic world dominated by superheroes and streaming services, Spielberg has left fingerprints across film history. With so many citing his movies as influences, whether they're in the audience, or pursuing their own journey into film, his impact on cinema is unmatched. The influence of Spielberg stems from his ability to span genres and generations, from E.T. to Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan to Ready Player One, telling the stories of ordinary people dealing with extraordinary circumstances. But his own journey from growing up in post-war America to changing cinema forever might just be his most extraordinary tale."

Night Will Fall(en)
When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
