AUBERVILLIERS de PREVERT

Aubervilliers is a French short film directed by Éli Lotar in 1945. The commentary and songs written by Jacques Prévert are marked by a strong political commitment.

This film was commissioned from the authors in the immediate post-war period by the communist municipality of Aubervilliers, to show the state of decay in which the city was located as a result of the policy led by the previous municipal team directed By the Petainist Pierre Laval.

The film, which is rarely shown in theaters, appears in the DVD My brother Jacques, by Pierre Prévert.

Aubervilliers est un court métrage français réalisé par Éli Lotar en 1945. Le commentaire et les chansons, écrits par Jacques Prévert, sont marqués par un puissant engagement politique.

Ce film avait été commandé aux auteurs, dans l'immédiate après-guerre, par la municipalité communiste d'Aubervilliers, pour montrer l'état de délabrement dans lequel se trouvait la ville à la suite de la politique menée par la précédente équipe municipale dirigée par le pétainiste Pierre Laval.

Le film, rarement diffusé en salle, figure dans le DVD Mon frère Jacques, par Pierre Prévert.

COUGHS AND SNEEZES SPREADS DISEASES

The British Government's campaign to encourage better hygiene in the wake of swine flu has yet to produce anything as entertaining as Richard Massingham's film, which would lead to the famous mantra: "Coughs and Sneezes Spread Diseases". This is one of Massingham's most famous public information films (in which he often starred), which educated and entertained audiences throughout the 40s and 50s.
