FILM AS PROPAGANDA: Lecture by Roel Vand Winkel and the screening of Disney’s propaganda films.

The most respected world expert on film propaganda, Belgian historian Roel Vande Winkel, will give a lecture on film propaganda during the World War II as a part of his visit to ZFF. He will not, as usual, focus on the most popular Nazi propaganda; he will rather publicly present numerous American efforts in this field, for the first time in this region. Most prominent are short propaganda animated films from Walt Disney’s workshop conceived so as to present the real situation in the Third Reich to American viewers. How did Donald Duck end up among Goebbels, Hitler and Goering? We will see at the lecture.
There will be screening of films: 'Education for Death', 'Donald Duck the Spirit of '43' and 'Der Fuehrer's Face'.
