Foremost among the art films that premiered at the 2021 Berlin International Film Festival last week was
À Pas Aveugles (From Where They Stood) a documentary by the French film-maker Christophe Cognet that focuses on the photographs taken by prisoners in Nazi concentration camps and in the Birkenau death camp.
Cognet’s rigorously reconstructs the places where the pictures were shot in secret, identifies the people who took them, shows how they might have obtained and concealed cameras, and places the picture-taking in the wider context of Nazi forced labour and extermination.
Since the Germans destroyed many of the camps as Allied troops approached, part of Cognet’s project became an archaeology of vanished sites that are now highly groomed monuments. Like crime scene reconstructions, each of these landscapes frames a microhistory of horror, not least in Birkenau, where fragments of charred bones still rise from mass graves when it rains.

A fishermanâs daughter knows but one way to scale, yet all are too different for a daughter of a tzar.
âTzarevna Scalingâ (literal translation of the Russian title is âFishermanâs Daughterâ) is a folk tale film. Inherently simple in its form, the film in its essence is an exercise in Slavic lore, Russian folk tale tropes, archetypes and morphology, Christianity, a cultural history of Russia, of her social consciousness, their standing and integration within the âmodern worldâ and âmodern consciousâ.
The narrative of the film is strictly a horizontal line, a story leading from point A to point B. Yet it is augmented with a structure of implications and metaphors that curve the film into a spiral that cycles through several perpendicular dimensions: periods of Russian history, history of culture and metaphor, development of mythology and moral of folk tales, Christian symbols, colour as language. Thus, the film may be perceived by ways of its folk tale narrative only â horizontally, or followed along the spiral of the study into periods of Slavic culture and mythologeme.
