3D films are Nazis discovered
made Movies 3D in prewar Nazi Germany were discovered in the Federal Archives in Berlin.
Two propaganda films in black and white, with 30 minutes in length, made in 1936, were discovered by Austrian director Philippe Mora , who is preparing a documentary about how the Nazis used to manipulate images reality.
Mora made history with his first film " Swastika" released in 1973, which outlined the until then unreleased homemade colorful images of Hitler, made by his mistress Eva Braun at the Berghof in the Bavarian mountains.
Now he discovered that the Nazis were decades ahead of Hollywood in developing a technology that only become popular in the 1950s, and now has won international recognition.
" The film was shot on 35mm - apparently with a prism in front of the lens ," Mora said. " were made by a studio independent to the Propaganda Ministry of Goebbels and registered as 'raum film' - or movies spaces - which might explain why no one had discovered that they were 3D so far. "
One of the films, a musical shot during a festival called " So real you can touch ", shows close-ups of typical food and barbecues, the other, " Six girls in a weekend " shows girls having fun.
" The quality of films is fantastic. The Nazis were obsessed with recording everything and each image was controlled - was all part of a strategy to gain control of the country and the people , "Mora said.
He plans to incorporate the material into a 3D section of the documentary - working title ' As the Third Reich was Joined "- and is convinced that there are older 3D movies to be found.
