Triumph of Will

(D 1934, 104 min., director: Leni Riefenstahl)

"Triumph of Will", the Nazi propaganda film in which Leni Riefenstahl created a condensed artistic view of the events during the 1934 Nuremberg Nazi Party Rally, was at the time shown all over Germany with the intention of creating mass enthusiasm for the National Socialist regime. Today, it is a so-called "film under reservation", which means that in Germany, it may only be screened accompanied by a scientific comment. The discussion will therefore analyse the style of the film and the effect of its imagery, and the question will be raised whether the existing reservations for screening are justified.

The discussion may also be held in English.
