History as told through American propaganda films from the world war to the cold war: transmediale has invited the renegade film archaeologist Jack Stevenson to present an evening of titles from his collection of classic and notorious 16mm shorts. Mixing satire, patriotism and graphic violence, these in your face films contain uncanny relations to our own “post-factual” present.

The evening is capped off by America’s in Real Trouble, a more down to earth yet equally surreal portrait of everyday life in 1960s America by Chicago-based experimental filmmaker Tom Palazzolo.
