I would appreciate any help in getting a copy of this film. Jud
shareIt's on the Synapse DVD release of Triumph of the Will (the "Special Edition" on Amazon). It's also on Vol.8 of the "Short" series of DVDs, called "Vision," but this is out of print.
shareDoes the new Synapse DVD release also includes this short as an extra feature? I have only seen it on the old release.
Anyway if this short haven't been included in the new synapse edition, you are not missing nothing important. I already saw this short and it's nothing more than some footage about military maneuvers by the nazi army.
Day of Freedom is included as a special feature on the DVD of Triumph of the Will from Netflix. Riefenstahl's photography here of German military maneuvers in 1935 is nothing short of spectacular.
Her camera crew became experts at filming rapid action. Techniques shown in Day are still used by television and motion picture makers today.
