Between 1933 and 1945, 1200 feature films were made in Germany. After the war the Allies banned over 300 films as propaganda. There are still restrictions on over 40 of these films today. How should we deal with this dark legacy: does it deserve to be preserved or should we rather dispose of it ? Should the films be made freely available or shall we continue to keep them under lock and key? FORBIDDEN FILMS presents those „Nazi movies of the poison cabinet“ (Die Welt) und and traces their myth, their public and their impact today, in Germany and abroad. A visual journey to the dark side of cinema.
