City of Toys

City of Toys combines a 2001 interview with filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl and a historical examination of antisemitism spanning centuries. Riefenstahl discusses her iconic 1935 documentary, Triumph of the Will, highlighting her perspective on the Nazi Party and the context of her work.

The film also delves into the historical significance of Nuremberg, once a hub for Jewish toymakers and known for hosting the world's largest trade toy fair. It examines how the narratives of Adolf Hitler and Riefenstahl's portrayal of the Nazi era intersect with the city's legacy of antisemitism. This complex exploration provides a thought-provoking backdrop to Riefenstahl's controversial career and the cultural implications of her films.
