Notes:

4K digital transfer. Ten years after the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps, filmmaker Alain Resnais documented the abandoned grounds and Auschwitz and Majdanek. Juxtaposing the stillness of the empty buildings with haunting wartime footage the film investigates humanity’s capacity for violence and presents the devastating suggestion that such horrors could occur again. Supplemental materials include: excerpt from 1994 radio interview with director; interview with Joshua Oppenheimer; documentary FACE AUX FANTÔMES (Jean-Louis Comolli, France, 2009, 99 min.); essay by film scholar Colin MacCabe.
