Abstract

Remediation is a process through which digital media exploit the communicative force of other media in order to develop, enrich and realise their own potential. Through different modalities, the same process also takes place between nondigital media. This is the case with Leni Riefenstahl, director of two exceptional propaganda documentaries now viewed as formal masterpieces in the history of cinema, who drew from Greek plastic arts to strengthen the message of her works and to establish an artistic connection with the Third Reich.
