Production



In 1943, a group of French filmmakers which included Louis Daquin, Jean Grmillon, Jacques Becker and Pierre Renoir (Jean's brother) founded the Comit de libration du cinma franais. Technicians from this group took pictures of the uprising in Paris (Battle for Paris) from its beginnings on August 19, 1944. The footage was developed and edited for a documentary titled 'La Libration de Paris' ("the liberation of Paris") which was released to French theaters on September 1, 1944, immediately after the German departure from the occupied territories.
