2010, Movie, 1h 29min

Yael Hersonski's powerful documentary achieves a remarkable feat through its penetrating look at another film-the now-infamous Nazi-produced film about the Warsaw Ghetto. Discovered after the war, the unfinished work, with no soundtrack, quickly became a resource for historians seeking an authentic record, despite its elaborate propagandistic construction. The later discovery of a long-missing reel complicated earlier readings, showing the manipulations of camera crews in these "everyday" scenes. Well-heeled Jews attending elegant dinners and theatricals (while callously stepping over the dead bodies of compatriots) now appeared as unwilling, but complicit, actors, alternately fearful and in denial of their looming fate.

Frequently asked questions

What is A Film Unfinished about? Toggle content

A Film Unfinished is a powerful documentary that delves into the forgotten story of a Nazi-produced film about the Warsaw Ghetto. Discovered after the war, the unfinished work was widely used by historians as an authentic record of Jewish life during that time. However, the later discovery of a missing reel revealed the manipulations of the camera crew and exposed the propagandistic nature of the film. Through interviews with surviving ghetto residents and a re-enactment of testimony from one of the camera operators, the documentary sheds light on the horrifying reality of ghetto life and the ways in which the Nazis controlled images of Jewish life during World War II.
