- Time 7:30 p.m.

- DescriptionResnais began his career in documentary short production. In Guernica, he and codirector Hessens analyze and celebrate Picasso’s masterpiece. In Les statues meurent aussi, Resnais and codirector Marker pointedly ask why African art resides in the anthropological musée de l’Homme while Greek art resides in the Louvre. Made at the 10th anniversary of the Liberation, Night and Fog alternates black-and-white archival imagery with poetic color footage of the ruins of Auschwitz and Maïdanek.
