Israel’s Government Is Trying to Turn the Film Industry Into a Propaganda Arm
The New York Times
Does all of that military machinery on screen come with strings attached? Does the military actually get a crack at the script? This movie provides answers.
For almost two decades before 1939, Alfredo Cecchetti worked as a cameraman documenting the rise of the Fascist Party in Italy and its leader Il Duce, Benito Mussolini. Alfredo C. helped to immortalize the great machine of the Italian Fascist Regime – both in Italy covering countless public appearances of Mussolini and after 1939, the Italian invasion of Albania, as he followed the Italian troops and then filmed the new Italian settlers. Embedded in the archive are many films that were part of the Italian Fascist propaganda machine.
