I have just returned from a publicity tour to New York and L.A. where I promoted my book DEAD FUNNY - HUMOR IN HITLER'S GERMANY. The trip included several public talks, including one with author Ron Rosenbaum at Brookyln's bookcourt, and another with Prof. Mark Crispin Miller at New York University. Meanwhile, the first batch of press & reviews has arrived. I've enclosed a couple of links to several articles, and to two National Public Radio (NPR) shows on which I was invited.

Last week I was invited on a panel at the renowned World Congress of Science and Factual Producers. The topic of our discussion was how to crack the international co-production market, an important subject in times as these. I strongly feel that broadcasters need to pool their assets to generate budgets for high-end documentary productions. For the directors and producers involved, this means creating versions which address the frequently contradictory needs of their backers. This may seem daunting at first but there are strategies to facilitate the process.

I just spotted that my film ABORA -LOST ON THE ATLANTIC will be shown on NRK 1 in Norway this evening at 8 p.m. So for those who happen to be up North, please tune in. I know that this could be of particular interest to all those who participated in my AMUNDSEN production last year, since this touches on the life and achievements of another great Norwegian explorer, Thor Heyerdahl.
Details on the production can be found in the FILMS + PROJECTS section of this website and a Norwegian synopsis can be accessed by following this link:

After last year's LATOFILMOW - Warsaw's summer film festival - at which eight of my films were showcased in the young director's section, my new film AMUNDSEN: LOST IN THE ARCTIC will be shown at this year's edition. The screening will take place on July 18th. For details, check the festival website: www.latofilmow.pl.
-Needless to say, I'm delighted that my film has been selected, especially since I have very fond visit of last year's event and my showcase of 10 years of work.
