**About the Film:**
Albert Speer is an enigma. The highest-ranking Nazi in Nuremberg to be spared
the death sentence, Speer was one of Hitler’s closest confidants and his chief
architect, tasked with rebuilding Berlin as the capital of a global empire. As
Reichsminister of Munitions, Speer was responsible for 12 million slave
laborers. And yet, even now, he has the reputation of being “the good Nazi” –
a myth he carefully constructed himself. “Speer Goes to Hollywood” meets its
protagonist in 1971, while Speer was working on a screenplay for Paramount
Pictures, based on his bestselling wartime memoir “Inside the Third Reich”.
Based on months of audio cassettes, recorded by screenwriter Andrew Birkin, it
features Speer’s callous attempt to whitewash his past in a feature film. The
audio narrative is supplemented by rare archival footage, taken before and
during World War II and later, during Speer’s retirement as a semi-reclusive
country gentleman.

**Running time:** 98 minutes
**Languages:** English, German, French
**Director:** Vanessa Lapa
**Producers:** Vanessa Lapa and Tomer Eliav
