About this audio guide
This guide to the Filmmuseum Düsseldorf follows Harry Piel, a local boy who became one of the most popular filmmakers in the German-speaking world, known for real explosions and the wild animals he partly trained himself. It moves from his silent-era stunts to his wartime career, his Nazi party membership and a film about a zoo in an air raid that censors would not let audiences see. Best heard as you climb past the cameras and projectors on the museum's floors.
