For the first time, Fundación Proa participates in BAFICI - Buenos Aires Independent Film Festival. In its 13th edition, premieres in Argentina the documentary film Nuremberg: Its Lesson for Today (1948/2009), the greatest courtroom drama of all time – the 1945 Nuremberg trial of top Nazi war criminals.

Sandra Schulberg and Josh Waletzky have masterfully restored this historic movie (after U.S. officials suppressed the film and the negative and soundtrack were lost or destroyed), originally directed by Schulberg’s father and commissioned by Pare Lorentz.  The negative was struck from the best quality extant print, borrowed from the German National Film  Archive, and not one picture frame was removed or changed in the restoration. The restoration team also reconstructed the musical score and Liev Schreiber re-recorded the narration.

The International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg (Nov 20, 1945 – Oct 1, 1946), the first major trial to  prosecute crimes against humanity, addressed questions of guilt and complicity in unimaginable atrocities. The film captures the defendants in their own words, admitting only to “certain excesses” and “abuses.”  Intended as an historical endpoint, an object lesson for future generations, Nuremberg has since become, tragically, a prototype for tribunals convened to prosecute genocides around the world.
