About Manual for the Displaced

Manual for the Displaced is a musical poetry film by visual storyteller Jeremy Flohr and poet/musician Robin Block. Taking inspiration from their own roots in both the Netherlands and Indonesia, they examine one of the most universal questions of all: what does it take to truly feel at home?

The film’s theme of displacement and belonging deeply resonates with many persons that have a colonial family history, a migration background or an upbringing between different cultures. A sensory work of art that gives words, sound, movement and images to diaspora, resilience and identity, the film won the Netherlands Poetry Film Festival in 2021 and other international prizes.
