Schlingensief: A Voice That Shook the Silence

OPIS

Director Christoph Schlingensief helped shape cultural and political discourse in Germany for more than two decades. The renowned film editor Bettina Böhler is attempting for the first time to document the exceptional artist Schlingensief, who died in 2010 at the age of just 49, in all his aspects. The intense portrait goes through Schlingensief's entire development from a quasi-pubescent filmmaker intoxicated with art blood through the stage revolutionaries of Berlin and Bayreuth to the bestselling author who, shortly before his death, was invited to design the German Pavilion in Venice.
