EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the British Film Institute, we are transported back to 1944, a time when war raged across Europe. The image captures the essence of Humphrey Jennings' documentary "The True Story of Lili Marlene" as it showcases individuals engrossed in the power of storytelling. A group of people can be seen gathered around a television set, their eyes fixed on the screen with unwavering attention. Their expressions reflect a mixture of curiosity and anticipation, as if they are being transported into another world through this visual medium. The telegraph machine nearby adds an air of authenticity and historical significance to the scene. Jennings' film delves deep into the emotional impact that music had on soldiers during World War II. It tells the story behind one particular song - "Lili Marlene" - which became an anthem for both Allied and Axis troops alike. Through his masterful direction, Jennings intertwines personal narratives with archival footage, creating a poignant exploration of how art can transcend borders and unite even in times of conflict. This print serves as a reminder not only of Jennings' artistic genius but also highlights our innate human desire for connection through shared experiences. As we gaze upon these individuals absorbed by Jennings' work, we cannot help but feel drawn into their world - captivated by their emotions and eager to uncover more about this extraordinary tale
