Watch both films for only 22 euro.

De Propagandist

Using family films, propaganda footage, and audio interviews, the story of filmmaker Jan Teunissen (1898-1975), leader of the NSB Film Service during World War II, is told. A story of a wounded ego, opportunism, and manipulation – timeless themes that still resonate today. 

Flophouse America

Because of the big housing problem in the US many people move into cheap, run down hotels, the so-called Flophouse hotels. The director, Monica Strømdahl has been travelling around the US documenting the housing situation and people’s life in different flophouses. Four years ago she met Mikal, one of many children growing up in a hotel. Now Mikal wants to be part of this documentary film, hoping to help others by sharing his story.
