Knifedge creates titles for BBC2's Wonderland
Creative network Knifedge has designed the broadcast titles for Wonderland, BBC2's new series of eight single documentaries which air from mid-January.
Each short film examines a different aspect of the Holocaust, genocide, discrimination and diversity.
In the opening episode, viewers see a pair of hands flicking fast through a photo album of numbered victims of the Holocaust, one photo per page.
A shocking voiceover explains that at this rate, it would take 15 days to view all the victims of the Holocaust and Nazi persecution.
Other executions include powerful testimonies from survivors of the Holocaust and a parody of "The Gallery" from Tony Hart's Vision On programme, featuring pictures drawn by children at Auschwitz and other concentration camps.
Each film concludes with the tagline that is the theme for this year's Holocaust Memorial Day - "Imagine...remember, reflect, react".
Knifedge handled all aspects of production, from initial creative ideas through to final delivery.
The films were directed by Tom Hadley and design directed by Sandra Goddard.
Chris Shaw, CEO of The Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, commented: "Knifedge's powerful films will challenge people's perceptions and provoke discussion wherever they are shown; we want people to remember the victims of the Holocaust, Nazi persecution and other genocides, reflect on what has happened in the past, and ultimately react to discrimination wherever they find it in today's society".
