Helene Bertha Amalie "Leni" Riefenstahl (German: [ˈʁiːfənʃtaːl]; 22 August 1902 – 8 September 2003) was a German film director, producer, screenwriter, editor, photographer, actress, dancer, and propagandist for the Nazis.
Born in 1902 into a Lutheran Protestant family, Leni Riefenstahl grew up in Germany with her brother Heinz (1905–1944) who was killed on the Eastern Front in World War II. A talented swimmer and artist, she also became interested in dancing during her childhood, taking dancing lessons and performing across Europe.
After seeing a promotional poster for the 1924 film Der Berg des Schicksals ("The Mountain of Destiny"), Riefenstahl was inspired to move into acting. Between 1925 and 1929, she starred in five successful motion pictures. In 1932, Riefenstahl decided to try directing with her own film called Das Blaue Licht ("The Blue Light"). In the 1930s, she directed Triumph des Willens ("Triumph of the Will") and Olympia, resulting in worldwide attention and acclaim. Both movies are widely considered two of the most effective, and technically innovative, propaganda films ever made. Her involvement in Triumph des Willens, however, would significantly damage her career and reputation after the war. The exact nature of her relationship with Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler remains a matter of debate, although a friendship is known to have existed.

Plot: German, 1945. The third Reich is in ruins and Leni Riefenstahl faces hard questions from the U.S. Army interrogators: Why did she glorify the Nazis in her infamous documentary, TRIUMPH OF THE WLL? Did she believe in Hitler's policy of hate? Was she his mistress? Or was are her only concern? Like so many in Nazi Germany, Riefenstahl faced a moral dilemma. This is the dramatic story of the choices she made, and why she made them, shedding light on perhaps the most crucial question of the 20th century: How could this happen?

Genres: Comedy,Olympia is a 1938 German documentary film written, directed and produced by Leni Riefenstahl, documenting the 1936 Summer Olympics, held in the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Germany. The film was released in two parts: Olympia 1. Teil — Fest der Völker (Festival of Nations) and Olympia 2. Teil — Fest der Schönheit (Festival of Beauty). It was the first documentary feature film of the Olympic Games ever made. Many advanced motion picture techniques, which later became industry standards but which were groundbreaking at the time, were employed —including unusual camera angles, smash cuts, extreme close-ups, placing tracking shot rails within the bleachers, and the like. The techniques employed are almost universally admired, but the film is controversial due to its political context. Neverthele...
La giornalista Sandra Maischberger incontra Leni Riefenstahl in questo documentario sulla controversa regista ed attrice tedesca. Nel 1926 Leni Riefenstahl inizia a recitare e diventa rapidamente una star del cinema muto. Affascinata dalla potenza oratoria di Hitler, aderì al nazismo fino a divenire la documentarista ufficiale dei film propagandistici del terzo Reich. Dopo la seconda guerra mondiale la Riefensthal riprende a girare documentari, che sono autentici capolavori, sulle culture africane e sulla biologia marina. Nel 2002 esce il suo ultimo film: "Meraviglie sott'acqua". (Biografia a cura di RaiStoria) Sottotitoli disponibili: inglese.
Triumph of the Will From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_of_the_Will Triumph of the Will (German: Triumph des Willens) is a 1935 propaganda film directed, produced, edited and co-written by Leni Riefenstahl. It chronicles the 1934 Nazi Party Congress in Nuremberg, which was attended by more than 700,000 Nazi supporters. The film contains excerpts from speeches given by Nazi leaders at the Congress, including Adolf Hitler, Rudolf Hess and Julius Streicher, interspersed with footage of massed Sturmabteilung and Schutzstaffel troops and public reaction. Hitler commissioned the film and served as an unofficial executive producer; his name appearing in the opening titles. The film's overriding theme is the return of Germany as a great power, with Hitler a...

Steven Bach, author of Marlene Dietrich: Life and Legend, offers a stunning new biography of one of the 20th century's most fascinating and controversial figures, known as "Hitler's filmmaker", Leni Riefenstahl. In his superbly written Leni: The Life And Work of Leni Riefenstahl, Bach debates the moral intricacies of this artist working under the Nazi regime, and presents evidence that Riefenstahl was herself, part Jewish.
From Wikipedia: Der Sieg des Glaubens (English: The Victory of Faith, Victory of Faith, or Victory of the Faith) (1933) is the first propaganda film directed by Leni Riefenstahl. Her film recounts the Fifth Party Rally of the Nazi Party, which occurred in Nuremberg from 30 August to 3 September 1933.[1] The film is of great historic interest because it shows Adolf Hitler and Ernst Röhm on close and intimate terms, before Röhm was shot on the orders of Hitler during the Night of the Long Knives on 1 July 1934. All known copies of the film were destroyed on Hitler's orders, and it was considered lost until a copy turned up in the 1990s in the United Kingdom. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Victory_of_Faith

Get your free copy of this audiobook: http://copydl.space/mabk/30/en/B000Q66GLK/audiobook Leni Riefenstahl, "hitler's filmmaker", remains one of the most controversial figures of the 20th century. Susan Sontag, though one of her severest critics, said that Triumph of the Will and Olympia, Riefenstahl's most noted films, "may be the two greatest documentaries ever made". Others see her story as an object lesson about opportunism: the story of an ambitious narcissist and unrepentant Nazi sympathizer whose glorifications of Hitler and the Third Reich helped pave the way for the horrors of World War Ii and the Holocaust. Bach lets the facts speak for themselves, including many newly uncovered, and the facts are rarely kind to Riefenstahl.we see Riefenstahl at the age of 100 as someone who coul...
