SWASTIKA

Some personal excitement--my film SWASTIKA is going to be shown for the first time in GERMANY, since it was basically banned there in 1973, after a riotous screening at the Cannes Film Festival representing the U.K. It will screen at the Biberach Film Festival, then Berlin in October. The film exposed the Eva Braun 16MM Eastmancolor home movies for the first time, and was an examination of the Nazification of Germany, 1933-1939. It will also show at the BFI Southbank in London in October to launch a DVD release. The film received great kudos in London, Washington D.C., Paris and  Australia when it was initially released. Variety did a story on the German premiere last week in a blog by Steven Gaydos.
