John Rabe (film)
John Rabe (released in the United Kingdom as City of War: The Story of John Rabe) is a 2009 German-Chinese-French biopictorial film directed by Florian Gallenberger and starring Ulrich Tukur, Daniel Brühl and Steve Buscemi.
It focuses upon the experiences of John Rabe, a German businessman who used his Nazi Party membership to create a protective International Safety Zone in Nanking, China, helping to save over 200,000 Chinese from the Nanking Massacre in late 1937 and early 1938.
The massacre and its associated atrocities were committed subsequent to the Battle of Nanking by the invading Imperial Japanese Army after they defeated the Chinese Nationalist forces defending the city during the Second Sino-Japanese War.
Based upon John Rabe's published wartime diaries, shooting for the film commenced in 2007, and it premiered at the 59th Berlin International Film Festival on 7 February 2009.
Upon the film's release it did not receive theatrical distribution in Japan and was the subject of vociferous refutations by Japanese ultranationalists who denied the events ever took place.
John Rabe House
The John Rabe House( 拉贝故居), located at Xiaofenqiao No. 1( 小粉桥 1 号) in Nanjing, China, was where John Rabe stayed during the Nanking Massacre and protected more than 600 Chinese refugees in this house, and within its garden, from Japanese persecution.
Today it accommodates the “ John Rabe and International Safety Zone Memorial Hall ” and the “ John Rabe Research and Exchange Centre for Peace and Reconciliation. ”
The John Rabe House is located in the center of Nanjing, at southeast corner of Gulou campus of Nanjing University.
John Rabe, former Siemens China Representative and Chairman of the International Committee for the Nanking Safety Zone, resided there from 1932 to 1938.
It was also in this house where he wrote the famous “ Diaries of John Rabe ”.
For almost half a century, Rabe's former residence in Nanking( as it was spelled then) received little recognition until its location was publicized by the publication of Rabe's diaries in December 1996 by his granddaughter Ursula Reinhardt.
When German president Johannes Rau visited Nanjing University in 2003, he expressed concern about the dilapidated condition of John Rabe ’s former residence.
After Rau ’s visit and with his great encouragement to renovate the house, the project kicked off successfully in 2005.
The Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany in Shanghai, together with Siemens Ltd.
China, Bosch- Siemens Home Appliances signed an agreement with Nanjing University to renovate the house and construct the “ John Rabe and International Safety Zone Memorial Hall ” and “ John Rabe Research and Exchange Centre for Peace and Reconciliation. ”
The German side was to provide financing while Nanjing University was responsible for the renovation and maintenance of the John Rabe House as well as for the establishment and management of the Memorial Hall and Research Center.

The Moo Man
The Moo Man is a 2013 British documentary film, directed by Andy Heathcote, about an organic dairy farm in Sussex, England.
The film had its premiere at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, where it competed in the World Cinema Documentary category.
The film focusses on a small dairy farm run by Steve Hook, which produces and sells raw, unpasteurised organic milk.
Near Hailsham, Sussex, Longleys Farm is situated on the Pevensey Levels.
The farm was started by Steve's father Phil, who is still involved in the business, and who also features in the film, along with Steve's wife and four children.
The film covers Steve's struggles to keep the 55-head-herd farm afloat in the face of the power of the supermarkets, and shows his close relationship with his cows, especially Ida, a 12-year-old Friesian.
The documentary was filmed over four years.
The film was selected as one of the twelve competitors in the World Cinema Documentary category at the Sundance Film Festival, held in Utah, US in January 2013.
The film's director, Andy Heathcote, explained that he and his partner Heike Bachelier, the film's co-producer and editor, had almost not applied to enter the festival because the entry fee was a lot for their small production company, Trufflepig Films, to find: "Sundance selection was something we never even thought to be a realistic possibility.
We weren’t even going to apply.
For a hand-to-mouth DIY film outfit like us, the £75 fee might at least fill the petrol tank.
However, can an indie outfit like us NOT apply to Sundance?
No, of course not.
The car was light on juice for a week, but I’m so very glad it was."
In a preview of the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, festival director John Cooper said of the film: "I have kind of a crazy favourite, a film I watched and just couldn’t shake until the end.
It’s a documentary called The Moo Man about a dairy farmer in England.
I found it to be such a beautiful story, really touching.
It’s probably not something that most people would rush to, but I found it really special."
The film was first screened for friends and family of those involved in its production at the Hailsham Pavilion Cinema on 30 September 2012.
The film is scheduled to have five screenings at the Sundance Film Festival; its world premiere was held there on 21 January 2013.
