A French-language Free French propaganda short made in wartime London: Germaine Sablon performs three resistance songs—most notably the first filmed performance of “Le Chant des Partisans” (music: Anna Marly; lyrics: Joseph Kessel & Maurice Druon)—for morale and circulation among Free French forces; Cavalcanti’s film was shown to troops in Britain and Canada and conceived for clandestine delivery to partisans.
Three Songs of Resistance was directed by Alberto Cavalcanti.
Three Songs of Resistance runs for 8min, and was released in 1944.
