Film Magistery #1: Night and Fog/Genocide

Film Magistery, my film/history podcast is on air!  So, what is it about? Film Magistery is a podcast about films and  history... but mostly about films. This show wants to explore the films  that belong to deeper cinematic experience by talking about a single  theme or concept that is related. You can expect to stumble upon films  made by Tarkovsky, Kubrick, Allen, Malick, Altman, Coen, Kiarostami, but  there should be space for the mainstream cinema, too.  The topic of the first episode is Resnais' Night and Fog, a short  documentary from 1956. Its theme is Holocaust. Is it still relevant  today? Additionally, I talk about whether the humankind has progressed  on a cultural level or not? I mention several other genocides in the  recent history, especially the one in Bosnia in 1995. Also, watch me  make a fool of myself while doing a (fake) Russian accent.        Relevant links: Night and Fog on IMDb Night and Fog on Letterboxd On Holocaust: US Holocaust Memorial Museum Stenton's 8 stages of  genocide Remembering Srebrenica
