Goatman Act

Goatman Act

(Goatman Act), Rogier Klomp / NIZ, 2004
English version, 30 min

By choosing animation as a method of documentary filmmaking this Dutch director has breached the convention that documentary depends on a true–to–life record, while the hyperbolic caricatures of animation belong to the realm of fiction. Rogier Klomp works with real facts and precise information, mapping the American expansion in the immutable mechanics of media deception. His historical excursion into the American nuclear programme is a sarcastic, typographic collage on the propaganda of American governments surrounded by the omnipresent secret service.
