Hitler's Hollywood - German Cinema in the Age of Propaganda 1933 - 1945

Nearly a thousand feature films came out of Third Reich cinema, produced between 1933-1945. As shown in Rüdiger Suchsland’s film Hitler’s Hollywood, the body of work included blockbusters, propaganda, and entertainment that did their best to mirror the Hollywood mystique. Armed with their own themes and celebrities, the films produced under the Third Reich made for a heavily censored yet influential period in German cinematic history. Suchsland takes us on an unfiltered journey through the history of this cinematic era, honing in on the underlying subliminal and overt messages of the films and their continued presence in the modern world.
