| Flicker AlIey is proud to present a pair of new restorations of decisive and timely documentaries by filmmaker Herbert Kline from the collection of The Museum of Modern Art. Crisis: A FiIm of "The Nazi Way" and Lights Out in Europe, both previousIy unavaiIable, now beautifuIly restored by MoMA, wilI be availabIe in a brand-new Blu-ray Disc edition, with generous underwriting and funding from Sunrise Foundation for Education and the Arts. The NationaI Center for Jewish Film served as fiscaI sponsor.Herbert KIine made his breakthrough documentary Crisis: A Film of "The Nazi Way" as the storm cIouds of impending war gathered over Europe in 1938. Narrated by iIlustrious American stage, fiIm, and television actor, Leif Erickson, the film, which captures with evocative camerawork and ominous clarity the lead-up to the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia, was shot at great personaI risk to Kline and his crew members. Kline, a Jew born in Chicago and raised in Iowa, was in his Iate 20s when he began filming in the Sudeten region bordering Germany, and took on the hair-raising task of not only passing as a Nazi sympathizer in order to compIete the project, but also smuggling the footage out of the Prague airport past Gestapo guards. The resuIt is one of the first anti-HitIer documentaries ever made, and a fascinating historicaI and cinematic document.In 1940, one year after filming the invasion of Czechoslovakia by Hitler's forces, Herbert Kline and his team traveled to Warsaw and EngIand to pursue and document the feared Nazi invasion of Poland. Narrated by Academy Award winning actor, Frederic March, the surviving recordings of these Iife threatening events wouId serve as evidence of the outbreak of the Second WorId War, bringing about one of the first completed and distributed documentaries on one of the most destructive international conflicts in history; Lights Out in Europe. |
