Three Songs of Resistance
Trois chansons de la résistance
A French-language Free French propaganda short made in wartime London: Germaine Sablon performs three resistance songs—most notably the first filmed performance of “Le Chant des Partisans” (music: Anna Marly; lyrics: Joseph Kessel & Maurice Druon)—for morale and circulation among Free French forces; Cavalcanti’s film was shown to troops in Britain and Canada and conceived for clandestine delivery to partisans.
Alberto Cavalcanti directed Three Songs of Resistance. Explore their complete filmography and the collaborators who shaped their vision.
