About

The African Twin Towersis a documentary about Schlingensief's last, unfinished film exploring German colonial guilt. Schlingensief is director, actor and cameraman, bringing together a group of non-professional performers (and some notable celebrities including Patti Smith) to play out elaborate scenarios on a rotating ship stage in Namibia. References are made to Richard Wagner, the attacks of September 11th and Norse mythology, blending Nordic and European legends with African shamanism, the music of Patti Smith and the politicised writings of Elfriede Jelinek.
