"After all, a dictator is simply an artist who is able to fully put into practice his egotism. It is a mere question of aesthetic level, whether he turns out to be Baudelaire or Bolintineanu, Louis XVI or Nicolae Ceausescu." Andrei Ujica. From a formal point of view, The Autobiography of Nicolae Ceausescu proves that it is possible to only use existing images to yield films focused on recent history, yet with an epic vein similar to that of the historical fiction cinema - such as, most notably, the ample period pieces dedicated by American cinema to the Vietnam War generation. This is an eminently syntactic endeavor, where montage plays a twofold part: mise-en-scene, as it builds scenes that do not exist as such in the rushes, and classical editing, connecting scenes together. We may be witnessing the birth of a new film genre.

Without the benefit of hindsight, how do you interpret what’s right in front of your eyes?<br /><br />The events that took place in Germany between 1919 and 1945 were dramatic and terrible but there were also moments of confusion, of doubt – of hope. How easy was it to know what was actually going on, to grasp the essence of National Socialism, to remain untouched by the propaganda or predict the Holocaust?<br /><br /><i>Travellers in the Third Reich</i> is an extraordinary history of the rise of the Nazis based on fascinating first-hand accounts, drawing together a multitude of voices and stories, including students, politicians, musicians, diplomats, schoolchildren, communists, scholars, athletes, poets, journalists, fascists, artists, tourists, even celebrities like Charles Lindbergh and Samuel Beckett. Their experiences create a remarkable three-dimensional picture of Germany under Hitler – one so palpable that the reader will feel, hear, even breathe the atmosphere.<br /><br />These are the accidental eyewitnesses to history. Disturbing, absurd, moving, and ranging from the deeply trivial to the deeply tragic, their tales give a fresh insight into the complexities of the Third Reich, its paradoxes and its ultimate destruction.

Now a major motion picture, this remarkable classic recounts, moment by moment, the spellbinding process that gave birth to the state of Israel. Collins and Lapierre weave a brilliant tapestry of shattered hopes, fierce pride, and breathtaking valor as the Arabs, Jews, and British collide in their fight for control of Jerusalem. "O Jerusalem!" meticulously re-creates this historic struggle. Collins and Lapierre penetrate the battle from the inside, exploring each party's interests, intentions, and concessions as the city of all of their dreams teeters on the brink of destruction. From the Jewish fighters and their heroic commanders to the charismatic Arab chieftain whose death in battle doomed his cause but inspired a generation of Palestinians, "O Jerusalem!" tells the three-dimensional story of this high-stakes, emotional conflict. Now with a new introduction by Dominique Lapierre, "O Jerusalem!" remains, as ever, a towering testament to the fiery dawn of Israel and an unforgettable tale of faith and violence, of betrayal and indomitable courage.

6月17日，在第十届中国网络视听产业论坛上由bilibili（以下简称B站）承办的文化传承与创新分论坛上，来自多个不同领域的专家学者分享了自己对于传统文化创新与发展的真知灼见。当天，B站还为到场者准备了一个“惊喜”——B站出品的纪录片《历史那些事》正式发布。
这部集严谨纪录与脑洞大开为一体的纪录片将以轻松诙谐的口吻讲述正史记录的那些神奇的、不可思议的历史，计划于8月在B站正式上线。
在新环境下，如何让纪录片这一严肃的媒体形式触及年轻人的精神世界？《历史那些事》总监制金铁木表示：“重要的是选题，选题是基础。”
回顾20多年的创作道路，金铁木用《复活的军团》、《玄奘之路》、《圆明园》等纪录片作品，影响了几代人。面对拥有文化自信的Z世代年轻人，金铁木表示：“谁都年轻过，但是每一代年轻人有他们自己成长的土壤，要了解他们的土壤，去了解他们，去认识他们，像标本一样去解剖他们，解剖他们的精神世界，要非常平等的了解他们。”
在他看来，现在的年轻人是非常开放的，他们的知识储备，他们的眼光，他们对新的事物，对艺术创新接受的程度，很有可能远超想象。所以，很多外在形式并不能解决最关键的问题。“用年轻人喜欢的方式去讲故事”是主创人员创作时的最大共识。
