A Night at the Garden poster

Released in 2017, A Night at the Garden is a documentary film directed by Marshall Curry, running about 7 minutes.

What it’s about. This montage film is made from previously unknown archival materials. It was nominated for an Oscar in 2019 in the Best Documentary Short Subject category (and was a part of the Short Film Program at the Sundance Film Festival), and shows us an almost forgotten meeting that took place in the Madison Square Garden, New York’s most famous arena - the meeting that was held by the German American Bund, a Nazi organization. It is 1939, and in the giant square Americans are making statements about white supremacy, not yet knowing into what horrors for Europe and the entire world will the Nazi regime turn into in just seven months when it invades Poland. A Night at the Garden turns out to be a chillingly relevant film for a divided America that recently saw yet another splash of race-based violence.

How it landed. With an audience score of 6.6/10, A Night at the Garden has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
