What does cinema know that we don't?
Over 1,000 feature films were made in Germany between 1933 and 1945. Very few of them are open propaganda. But even fewer of the films produced under National Socialism are harmless entertainment. The National Socialist cinema was state-controlled. At the same time it wanted to be a “big cinema”. A German dream factory.
HITLER'S HOLLYWOOD tells the story of the darkest and most dramatic period in German film history for the first time, and commemorates these films and their stars on Ufa's centenary: Hans Albers, Heinz Rühmann, Zarah Leander, Ilse Werner, Marianne Hoppe, Gustav Gründgens and many more.
The Nazi films were not only technically perfect, they were emotional; they awakened longings, made one dream, and offered refuge. The cinema was industrially prefabricated and manipulative. Perhaps the feelings that these films aroused were often self-deception, false feelings. But they were just feelings. This is the only way to explain the impact of Nazi cinema.
Millions went to the cinema at the time. What dreams did the Germans dream in their very own Germanic dream factory? What should they dream about if those in power had their way? How does propaganda work? What does cinema know that we don't?
