Ranging in scope and rich in reference, this admirable book shows how prosecutors used films as evidence in court and how court sessions were themselves filmed and widely diffused for public audiences. As the international community continues to struggle with the legacies of Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda, and Darfur, the original perspectives Christian Delage offers will helpfully inform the ongoing quest for justice.\" - Stuart Liebman, Professor Emeritus, CUNY Graduate Center \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Meticulously researched and highly topical, \u003ci\u003eCaught on Camera\u003c\/i\u003e is the first scholarly work to tell the story of the impact of film on advocacy, trials, and legal judgment. Historian, filmmaker, critic and adjunct professor of law, Delage is ideally qualified to uncover the extraordinary narrative of the introduction of film into legal evidence in the Nuremberg trials and its subsequent and expanding role in tribunals and international criminal proceedings to the present day. In a meticulously researched and fluently argued analysis, this book not only exposes the link between visual evidence and war crimes trials but also, and even more surprisingly, shows how film has subtly and persistently impacted the staging, process, performance, and even architecture of law.\" - Peter Goodrich, Cardozo School of Law\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the Allied forces of World War II formed an international tribunal to prosecute Nazi war crimes, they introduced two major innovations to court procedure. The prosecution projected film footage and newsreels shot by British, Soviet, and American soldiers as they discovered Nazi camps. These images, presented as human testimony and material evidence, were instrumental in naming and prosecuting war crimes. At the same time, the Nuremberg tribunal was filmed so that the memory of \"the greatest trial in history\" would remain strong in future generations. In the decades that followed, the use of film in the courtroom greatly influenced the conduct of the Eichmann trial-and subsequently the trials of Klaus Barbie, Paul Touvier, and Maurice Papon in France, as well as the proceedings against Slobodan MiloŠević and the Khmer Rouge Kang Kek lew.\u003cbr\u003e Combining the practical knowledge of a renowned director with the perspective of a historian and media specialist, Christian Delage examines archival footage from these trials and explores the conditions and consequences of using film for the purposes of justice and memory. Revised and expanded from the original French publication, \u003ci\u003eCaught on Camera\u003c\/i\u003e retraces the steps by which the United States pioneered jurisprudence that sanctioned the introduction of film as evidence and then established the precedent of preserving an audiovisual record of those proceedings. From the Nuremberg trials to the current Khmer Rouge trials, Delage considers how national attitudes toward the introduction of filmic evidence in court vary widely, and how different countries have sought to use film as a recordkeeping medium. \u003ci\u003eCaught on Camera\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how reproduced images, as evidence, testimony, and archival documentation, have influenced the writing of modern history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eEditor's Note\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e PART I.
