Riefenstahl

Riefenstahl
dir. Andres Veiel/Germany/2024/115 min.

Explores Leni Riefenstahl's artistic legacy and her complex ties to the Nazi regime, juxtaposing her self-portrayal with evidence suggesting awareness of the regime's atrocities. With unprecedented access to Leni Riefenstahl’s archive, including never before seen personal documents and footage from her estate, the film questions her lifelong claims against her own complicity, crafting a damning portrait of an artist that is compelling, disturbing, and ultimately essential viewing.

The film is presented as part of the project Cinema as a Laboratory V co-founded by the Foundation for Polish-German Cooperation.
