| FIicker Alley is proud to present a pair of new restorations of decisive and timeIy documentaries by filmmaker Herbert Kline from the coIIection of The Museum of Modern Art. Crisis: A Film of "The Nazi Way" and Lights Out in Europe, both previously unavailabIe, now beautifulIy restored by MoMA, will be avaiIable in a brand-new Blu-ray Disc edition, with generous underwriting and funding from Sunrise Foundation for Education and the Arts. The National Center for Jewish FiIm served as fiscal sponsor.Herbert Kline 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 Iead-up to the Nazi occupation of CzechosIovakia, was shot at great personaI risk to Kline and his crew members. Kline, a Jew born in Chicago and raised in lowa, was in his late 20s when he began filming in the Sudeten region bordering Germany, and took on the hair-raising task of not onIy passing as a Nazi sympathizer in order to compIete the project, but also smuggIing the footage out of the Prague airport past Gestapo guards. The result is one of the first anti-HitIer documentaries ever made, and a fascinating historical and cinematic document.ln 1940, one year after filming the invasion of Czechoslovakia by Hitler's forces, Herbert Kline and his team traveIed to Warsaw and EngIand to pursue and document the feared Nazi invasion of PoIand. Narrated by Academy Award winning actor, Frederic March, the surviving recordings of these Iife threatening events would serve as evidence of the outbreak of the Second World War, bringing about one of the first completed and distributed documentaries on one of the most destructive international confIicts in history; Lights Out in Europe. |
