Polygoon newsreels
The real breakthrough came in 1920 when Jules Stoop pulled out of the hard-pressed Filmfabriek Hollandia and started his own film company, Filmfabriek Polygoon. Within a few years, under the management of the next director, B.D. Ochse, Polygoon grew to become the most important Dutch producer of documentaries, educational films, commissioned films and newsreels. It was the latter genre in particular that determined the image of Polygoon. For decades, up until the final newsreel in 1987, the name Polygoon was synonymous with Dutch newsreels.
