Screening for February 27, 8 p.m.
The White Ribbon (Germany, 145 min) Not rated
Directed by Michael Haneke
In pre-World War I Germany, a series of disturbing and violent incidents in a rural village hint at a dark reality beneath the community’s placid, repressive surface. The rigid espousal of both social and religious proprieties by their elders—and the hypocrisy it often hides—has begun to have a devastating effect on the village children. The White Ribbon is also nominated for Best Cinematography.

NG Live is is pleased to announce that Anheuser Busch unique Craft Beers will be served at the complimentary reception preceding the screening at 7 p.m.

See Academy Award-nominated documentaries and short films, March 3 – March 7, at the National Archives. Screenings are free, but tickets are required. For more information, visit www.archives.gov.
