Interviews with My Lai Veterans
Directed by Joseph Strick
1970, 22min, 35mm
This chilling film, which won the Academy Award for Documentary Short Subject, records interviews with five Vietnam War veterans who participated in the atrocities of the infamous My Lai massacre. The New York Times wrote: “The effect of the testimony—rueful, factual, unsentimental—is terrifying, and almost indescribably sad.”
Black Panthers
Directed by Agnès Varda
1968, 31min, BETASP
One of three films that godmother of the French New Wave Agnès Varda made while living in California in the 1960s, this politically charged documentary profiles the activities of the Black Panther Party as its members fought for the freedom of imprisoned co-founder Huey P. Newton.
