Movies
A short documentary. The film talks about the science fiction fairy tale from the Nazi Germany’s cultural history. This is the film’s real Haus Atlantis, an Expressionist building built in 1931 in Bremen, designed by the controversial german architect Bernard Hoetger and commissioned by businessman Ludwig Roselius in order to restore the self esteem of the German people. Hoetger was inspired by Roselius’s belief that Germans originated in Atlantis and were thus the founders of civilisation.
