Filmmaker and Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl is considered one of the most controversial women of the 20th century. How did she become the Reich’s preeminent filmmaker if she was just a hired hand?
Riefenstahl examines this question using never-before-seen documents from Leni Riefenstahl’s estate, including private films, photos, recordings, and letters, uncovering fragments of her biography and placing them in an extended historical context.
Venue: Vermont International Film Festival
