References of the abstract :
The paper analyzes the corporate media communications of the Luxembourg steel company ARBED during the interwar period. The paper scrutinizes the employment of statistical data, entertaining elements, and national motives in the animated film 'Une grand industry dans un petit pays', which was used as a promotional film at the 1930 World Fair in Liège. It further puts the film into the context of ARBED's film productions of the time and links it to media and exhibitions of international competitors and interest groups.
