Die Filme nach den Film-Filmen: Theaterfilme
As Christoph Schlingensief became ill and his death drew near, the more he worried about his cinema work (even the short sketches) being adequately archived, whether his whole oeuvre would be able to enter into dialogue with future audiences – and collaborators. This program of “theatre films” (often clips made for and around stage shows) edited by Frieder Schlaich gives a first glimpse of what can be found in the “Schlingensief Filmarchiv”. “With every examination of his films, plays, TV series, installations, and performances, new answers present themselves to the same questions: How did Schlingensief create an atmosphere that oscillates between seriousness and playfulness, keeping the viewer on constant alert and making them a participant in the action? How did Schlingensief accomplish that exceptional state of nebulousness and confusion with which he infected everyone involved like a virus, bringing them to take a critical look at their world and own attitudes?” (Anna-Catharina Gebbers)
