In 1988, the Rotterdam International Film Festival presented a programme entitled “The Cruel Machine”. David Swatling presents six filmmakers whose work was on show. The films are violent, perverse – sexually or otherwise – and tasteless. So why do directors make these films? The interviews are  done by Mindy Ran and Simone Wiesma.
