THE COUNTERFEITERS PLUS Q&A WITH DIRECTOR STEFAN RUZOWITZKY

 

 

A devastatingly effective wartime thriller, based upon real events, Stefan Ruzowitzky's THE COUNTERFEITERS is a must for those that enjoyed THE LIVES OF OTHERS and THE PIANIST. In 1936, the Nazis established the largest counterfeiting operation in history, with the intention of flooding the British and American economies with fake currency. Enlisted to assist were any concentration camp inmates with skills in the right department – among them master forger, gambler and playboy Salomon Sally Sorowitsch (a wonderful, wounded yet belligerent turn from Karl Markovics).

LONDON SOCIALIST FILM CO-OP: LA ULTIMA CENA [18] PLUS DISCUSSION

 

Duration: 120 / Year: 1976

 

'The Last Supper’ is made during the height of the Cold War, showing a Cuba that was unknown and a history that was of little interest to audiences of that time. The meal of the title is provided by a slave owner to impress his slaves with his concern. We are shown that a Christian doctrine given to his slaves is indirect conflict with the work they have to do on the plantation.

 

Followed by a discussion led by Michael Chanan, Professor of Film and Video at Roehampton University, London, Jacqui McKenzie, Caribbean Labour Solidarity, Dionne Walker, Head Co-ordinator for the 1807-2007 Abolition Programme and Chair of Black History Month Steering Group for the London Borough of Camden and Dr Stephen Wilkinson, Assistant Director of the International Institute for Cuban Studies.
