Alex Gibney explores the phenomenon of Stuxnet, a self-replicating computer virus discovered in 2010 by international IT experts.

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".

The result is stark, fragile and raw, and a true testament to an artist trying to find his way through the darkness.

An intimate documentary portrait of the legendary French actor. Directed by Carole Weisweiller and Jean-Christophe Rosé, the film centers on an in-depth conversation filmed in 1995 between Weisweiller and the aging star. Rather than a dry chronological career recap, the film offers a deeply personal retrospective. Marais candidly reflects on his multi-faceted artistic journey—spanning acting, painting, and sculpting. He reflects on his creative partnership and profound romance with director Jean Cocteau, which shaped postwar French cinema with masterpieces like Beauty and the Beast and Orpheus. He also addresses his transition into a swashbuckling box-office icon in popular action films. Blending reflective interviews with archival footage, the film acts as a moving artistic testament, offering a rare, vulnerable window into the life, passions, and enduring legacy of one of France's ultimate icons.
