[braindrainedAsh]

Okay, I'm starting one for Leni now, I think they are good, it's good to have to try and remember stuff!!

First Question:

List 4 of Leni's films.

 

[meh]

dancer
actress
film director
photographer

who was the director of the first movie she saw and what was his/her significance from then on?

 

[braindrainedAsh]

Arnold Fanck I think... Leni then stared in many of his films.

What was special about the day that Olympia premiered?

 

[s2ophie]

It was Hitler's birthday

What was Leni's last film and what was the controversy surrounding it?

 

[braindrainedAsh]

Tiefland- controversy was because she is accused of usingh gypsies from a concentration camp as extras.

How many years did it take Leni to edit Olympia?

 

[meh]

2

which film did she make for the Riechschwehr and why wasn't she happy with it?

 

[s2ophie]

umm what is the reichwschwehr?

If its what i think it is the film might be Victory of the Faith. is that the wemacht one?

 

[bells]

Yeah she wasnt at all happy with Victory of Faith- however the focus on the Reichschwehr was in "Day of Freedom-Our Armed Forces"- a seventeen minute film that was released with Triumph of the Will 1935.

Who commisioned Olympia?

 

[Chat1]

ahhh the IOC? International Olympic Commitee. It was not Hitler and the Nazi party, even though there is evidence to support that the Nazi party did help to finace the film.

Question: How many times was Leni put before the courts for her involvment in producing propaganda films, and when did these occur?

 

[lazybum]

to the one b4 about olympia, olympic committee guy carl diem commissioned it.

are we supposed to know how many times leni was put on trial coz i don't!!! all ii know is it took her 2 yrs to be denazified

 

[braindrainedAsh]

I'm just bumping this up because I thought the '04s might be interested in continuing it.

The question last asked was:

How many times was Leni put before the courts for her involvment in producing propaganda films, and when did these occur?

 

[edwardcav]

how many?

i looked........................

 

[sped_kid01]

1945, at the end of the war riefenstahl was arrested in Kitzbuerel. she was sent to trial, charged and sentenced, spent 4 years in french detention camp, however sufficient evidence was not produced, and she was freed...

What film techniques were used in Triumph of the Will, to communicate Nazi Ideals?

 

[edwardcav]

some were the camera angles looking up at hitler, and his long speech was edited down to 5 minutes with only the "cool bits" - emotional shots portraying a happy healthy and peaceful Germany. any more?

Q) Finish this quote:

"We left a terrible legacy... I contributed........."

 

[sped_kid01]

umm...well...i got: When hitler arrives in the plane, it is a comparison of Hitler to God (enhancing the 'fuhrer myth') Lighting is favoured to make Hitler more attractive...German leadership is presented as a strong unified regime...cant think of anymore!! Ive never heard that quote b4...soz

 

[Craig]

Q) Finish this quote:
"We left a terrible legacy... I contributed........."

If I remember correctly its 'We left a terrible legacy. I contributed somewhat to it. So there's guilt, you can call it that'.

Q) What genre was Leni's first film and what was it called?

 

[konggo]

If I remember correctly its 'We left a terrible legacy. I contributed somewhat to it. So there's guilt, you can call it that'.

Q) What genre was Leni's first film and what was it called?

origianal was berg films(moutain films)...but most nazi films where escapist last 2 film where olympis two parts festivle of beauty and f estival des volk(nation) and trumph des willens where both documenttaries..


her last major work was wht???

 

[sped_kid01]

photography of tribe of nuba in somalia? is that right...or was it the cubda diving one?

 

[GretaGarbo]

that was a blurry question, as you could say it was Tiefland, Nuba or the scuba diving one.

anyway, which member of Hitler's inner circle tried to hit on her? and what did he do after (that affected her)?

 

[dannyr]

Ummm you only need to know up until 1945 I got told... the sylabus asks for no more than from when she gets arrested. Tell me if I'm wrong! Thanks...
