TRIUMPH OF THE WILL (Triumph des Willens, 1935)
This film is an artful work of propaganda showcasing German chancellor and Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler at the 1934 Nuremberg Rally. Edited from over 60 hours worth of raw footage shot over the course of the rally's four days, the film is visually remarkable in the way it captures the event's enormous scale.
Allegedly, propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels resented the presence and intrusion of a film director capturing the 700,000+ in attendance, but finally had to admit that the imagery, achieved through the use of 30 cameras and 120 assistants, were worth a thousand speeches. Possibly the most powerful propaganda film ever made.
