9.5mm film 'Pathé Baby' centenary 1922-2022: Happy Birthday Baby! 

September Archive Streaming Programme: The Banality of Evil, selected by Anna Briggs

All the films featured in this month's selection are from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum / Steven Spielberg Film and Video Archive collection. They document the years leading up to, during and after World War II. Several of these films are featured in the Ephemeral Films Project: National Socialism in Austria(https://efilms.at//), where you can 'watch the historic film through an innovative film player showing contemporary images, geographical mapping, and shot-level analysis.'

I recommend reading the 'Description', 'About' and 'Administrative History' notes for all films, as they shed light on familial relations between filmmakers, geographical and chronological links, as well as giving a broader historical context to these personal films.
