Chantons sous l'Occupation (English: Singing during the Occupation) is a French documentary film from 1976. It was directed and written by André Halimi, starring Pascal Mazzotti, Maître Naud, and Fabienne Jamet.

The film tells about artists and entertainers (from Jean Cocteau to Maurice Chevalier) under the Nazi occupation of France (1940-1944). It presents the entire spectrum from resisters to semi-fascists.

Synopsis

On le sait, les stars de la chanson française, en général, n'ont pas été trop intimidées - ni inquiétées - par l'occupant allemand. Certaines, d'ailleurs, se sont empressées de séduire les oreilles pétainistes et nazies. Fallait-il, ou non, continuer à chanter? Cette activité pouvait-elle passer pour une forme de collaboration? A questions dérangeantes, réponses ambiguës! Quoi qu'il en soit, et comme le montre ce film, les années sombres ont été plutôt fertiles pour la chanson française.

The film focuses on two young rap artists, Subliminal, an Israeli Jew, and Tamer Nafar, a Palestinian citizen of Israel, and focuses on their music, friendship, and their politicization as public figures. The film traces the relationship between Tamer and Subliminal, as the events of the Second Intifada unfold, and lets the viewer draw conclusions from the souring relations between the two as an individual representation of the polarization process which took place during these years of bloody conflict. In this aspect, the film succeeds in delivering the atmosphere of the loss of hopes for peace after the failure of the Camp David summit between Ehud Barak and Yasser Arafat and the renewed intensity of the conflict since. The film was featured in the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival.

Carmen Miranda, an almost ghostly character in the imaginary of Portuguese, Brazilian, and American audiences, comes back to life in the first scene of the documentary as a dream narrated by Helena Solberg. Images from her memorial service in Rio de Janeiro follow, showing the grief of her Brazilian fans as she says goodbye to what she considered her homeland. Born in the small Portuguese village of Varzea da Ovelha e Aliviada on February 9, 1909, Carmen was appropriated by the people of her village as a symbol of success. Making use of interviews with her younger sister Aurora Miranda, the documentary tales the migration story of Carmen, from Portugal to Brazil, were they arrived in November 1909. Carmen Miranda, daughter of a modest barber, Jose Maria Pinto da Cunha, lived in Rio de Janeiro. There, while working at a hat store, she was first discovered as a singing talent, growing up in Rio de Janeiro, as a working class adolescent, she noticed the strong influence of Samba music as a powerful cultural aspect of life in Rio’s slums.
