To commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, Syberberg has produced Nightsong. An extension of his Demmin Cantos (2024), it powerfully connects the physical spaces in Demmin with the wartime memories embedded within and around them. Structured as a War Requiem, Nightsong incorporates extended extracts from the Latin Requiem of Mozart and the German Requiem of Brahms into its densely layered montage. The short 80 Years After (2025), which provides context for the events of 1945 and Nightsong, is included as a supplement. With English subtitles.
