HAMLET - THIS IS YOUR FAMILY
Peter Kern
Deutschland, 2001
Documentaries, 76min, OF
German director Christoph Schlingensief, enfant terrible of the media circus, caused another scandal earlier this year when he decided to hire a group of young neo-nazis to perform in his production of <i>Hamlet</i> for the Schauspielhaus in Zurich. This film documents the events surrounding the staging of the play, the hostility and the heated discussions, reahearsals and the performance itself. Peter Kern, director of the documentary, played King Claudius in this production.
