A Call for Arms!(1940)

8 Min. | Drama

"What a life for a couple of nudes!" Two dancers find a new way of doing their bit for the boys in this frothy wartime propaganda short. Lord Kitchener's famous finger persuades Joan and Ireen, dancers in a 'Non Stop Nudes' revue (not that we see anything that warrants that title), to make a radical career change. Swapping their skimpy costumes for dowdy munitions factory overalls, they join a growing domestic army of women keeping the machines rolling. Belfast-born Brian Desmond Hurst was essentially a feature film director, whose best-remembered work is the Dickens adaptation Scrooge, but whose credits also included the war films Dangerous Moonlight (1941) and The Malta Story (1953). The Call for Arms was one of three propaganda shorts he made between 1940 and 1941, the most memorable being Miss Grant Goes to the Door, in which a pair of village spinsters outwit a Nazi paratrooper.

Regie: Brian Desmond Hurst - Schauspieler: Jean Gillie

Indonesia Calling(1946)

23 Min. | Dokumentation
3,0/5 (bei 4 Stimmen)

Two weeks after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in August 1945, Indonesian Independence leaders proclaimed “Indonesia Merdeka!” ‘Freedom for Indonesia’ and an end to Dutch colonial rule over the Netherlands East Indies. Internationally renowned Dutch filmmaker Joris Ivens, in Australia as Film Commissioner for the Netherlands East Indies government in exile, resigned his position in protest against Dutch policy, which sought to re-impose its colonial rule. In collaboration with Indonesian activists, Chinese, Indian and Australian trade unionists, and local artists and filmmakers, Ivens made Indonesia Calling, a film documenting the crucial role of Australian trade union support in the establishment of the new Republic of Indonesia. Ivens’ film was an activist documentary; it actively contributed to the events it depicted. All those who worked on it became ‘adversely known’ to the security services.

Regie: Joris Ivens

2,9/5 (bei 2 Stimmen)

Unter Verwendung von beschlagnahmtem Propagandamaterial aus japanischen Wochenschauen schildert diese Dokumentation von 1945 General MacArthur's langen Kampf, sich nach erzwungener Evakuierung seinen Weg zurück zu den Philippinen und weiter nach Japan zu bahnen. Von Australien aus schlug er sich durch den Dschungel von Neu Guinea und über die Inselketten. Es war gut, dass er sein Versprechen einhielt zurückzukehren, zumal Admiral Nimitz von Hawaii aus auf direktem Wege quer über den Pazifik auf die Philippinen zusteuerte. General MacArthur's Truppen und die Angriffe der 3. US Navy Flotte entschieden den Krieg gegen Japan schon Wochen vor Hiroshima, beim Kampf um Hokkaido. Zusammen nahmen MacArthur und Nimitz 1945 die Kapitulation Japans entgegen.
