Production
Shoah took eleven years to make, beginning in 1974. The first six years of production were devoted to the recording of interviews with the individuals that appear in the film, which were conducted in 14 different countries. After the shooting had been completed, editing for the film continued for five years where it was cut from 350 hours of raw footage down to the 91⁄2 hours of the final version.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“The production of obscurity in Paris compares to the production of motor cars in Detroit in the great period of American industry.”

“The myth of unlimited production brings war in its train as inevitably as clouds announce a storm.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
