Forces Occultes (1943): French Freemasonry. Anti-Masonic Film

Directed by Jean Mamy, written by Jean Marques-Riviere, Forces Occultes (1943) is pure Anti-Masonic propaganda… a project commissioned by a delegation from Nazi Germany's ministry within occupied France. The full title (in English) is Occult Forces: The mysteries of Freemasonry unveiled for the first time on the screen. The director, Jean Mamy, was an ex-Mason and supplied much of the source material. The ludicrous story follows a man who seeks to relaunch his career by joining the Freemasons, and how he learns of the secret plot of the Masons conspiring with the Jews to encourage France into war against Germany. After the end of World War II, the film's writer and director were convicted of collaboration with the enemy. Marques-Riviere was sentenced to 3 years in prison and Jean Mamy was condemned to death and was executed in 1949.
