Flat News is a short film in which Meis Vranken investigates life inside her own apartment block, and the language that belongs to it. It is part of the larger Flat News project, that has so far involved musical, literary and performative limbs, and will come together in a Flat News theatre performance this fall.
The episode was broadcast Sunday April 26, 10pm on the local Amsterdam television channel SALTO1 and afterwards available on Vimeo.
