HITLER LIVES
Don Siegel (uncredited) | 1945 | USA | 17 min | 16mm

Theodore “Dr Seuss” Geisel is famed for his children’s books, but he also won Oscars for each of 2 documentaries he produced. The first of those films was this informational work for the US armed forces, outlining the task of ‘denazification’ that followed the Allied victory in Europe (ie, hysterical State-side propaganda).

PIGPEN (porcile)
Pier Paulo Pasolini | 1969 | Italy | 99 min | 16mm

Originally conceived as a short feature (about a nazi in love with a pig!) to screen in company of Bunuel’s Simon of the Desert, Pasolini added a second story (about a medieval cannibal cult!) - then brutally montaged the 2 stories together to create a feature in its own right. Lord help me: what a feature!

Humour is deeply in the jet-black vein of Bunuel, but Pasolini employs a shipload of formal devices which turn this film into a savage parody of French new wave cinema. Pasolini at his best is a ruthlessly intelligent director, and this is among his most playfully ridiculous films - a very fucking sharp satire of terminal capitalism… Among the cast: Pierre Clementi, Jean-Pierre Leaud, & Director (Le Grande Bouffe) Marco Ferreri!
