Espoo Cin\u00e9, in collaboration with\u00a0Cinema Orion, presents an additional screening of\u00a0Andres Veiel\u2019s documentary\u00a0Riefenstahl<\/em>, which attracted great interest at the August edition of Espoo Cin\u00e9 and had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival. The screening is part of\u00a0Cinema Orion\u2019s European Film Winter\u00a0series. The film will be shown at\u00a0Cinema Orion on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, at 5:15 PM. Tickets are available through Cinema Orion\u2019s ticket sales<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directed by the German filmmaker\u00a0Andres Veiel, the documentary\u00a0Riefenstahl<\/em>\u00a0is a profound and ambivalent portrait of one of the most controversial figures in film history\u2014Leni Riefenstahl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The documentary is based on Riefenstahl\u2019s extensive personal archive, which includes thousands of letters, diaries, photographs, recordings, and private film fragments. Veiel goes beyond a purely chronological narrative, constructing a multilayered story in which Riefenstahl\u2019s self-portrait is set against documented reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film examines both Riefenstahl\u2019s artistic talent and her collaboration with the Nazi propaganda machine. She famously claimed to have been unaware of the Holocaust and distanced herself from Hitler\u2019s ideology after the war, but the documentary also provides grounds for very different conclusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veiel\u2019s approach is not moralizing but analytical\u2014he leaves it to the viewer to draw their own conclusions.
