UK Documentary Release Riefenstahl

We are pleased to share news of the UK release of Andres Veiel’s documentary Riefenstahl, on behalf of Dogwoof film distribution. From award-winning German director Andres Veiel, Riefenstahl offers a captivating insight into one of the most controversial figures of the 20th century, filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl. Despite becoming world-famous with her Nazi propaganda film Triumph of the Will, Riefenstahl continued to deny any deeper ties to the Nazi regime throughout her life. Drawing from unprecedented access to her private archive – including films, letters, recordings and photographs – the film interrogates the careful construction of her post-war narrative and legacy, and her lasting influence on film aesthetics and propaganda. Following a world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, the film has garnered attention at several prominent festivals, and received strong reviews from critics. At www.riefenstahl-film.com you’ll find further information, cinemas and showtimes, which will continue to be updated over the coming weeks.
