The contested legacy of the anti-fascist
International Brigades
In the 1930s,
thousands of men and women around the world
enlisted to fight fascism in Spain.
Many survivors went on to play a key role
in the
fight against the Nazis
– but, in some cases,
later became powerful
servants of brutal regimes

'We are the dead,'
he said.
'We are the dead,'

Nineteen Eighty-Four
1984 Trailer
1984
Video Modern
Trailer 2020
Part of my trailer project
- breathing some new life into older, forgotten or overlooked
films.
Mainly to spread awareness of these great films
and hopefully inspire more people to seek them out.
Director - Michael Radford
Synopsis - In a totalitarian future society, a man,
whose daily work is re-writing history,
tries to rebel by falling in love.
The official trailer really just didn't do much for this film
in my opinion.
I wanted to at least try to create something
that felt authentic to the film,
something that felt Orwellian and ominous
and gave the feeling of a foreboding future.
