Tunguska – The Crates Are Here

Christoph Schlingensief

GER 1984, 71 min

Schlingensief’s way of getting even with German avant-garde film.

Synopsis

Three avant-guarde researchers on the road to North Pole. Their plan: expose Eskimos to their films. Torture can come in many forms... Schlingensief’s feature film debut marks the first of many collaborations with New German Cinema legend Alfred Edel!

TUNGUSKA is part of the “Trilogie zur Filmkritik – Film als Neurose”, which also includes the two short films PHANTASUS MUSS ANDERS WERDEN and WHAT HAPPENED TO MAGDALENA JUNG.

Press reviews

A turbulent, eccentric take on narrative cinema, on film history, on the Theory of Seeing and the science that obstructs access to pleasure through art. (Peter W. Jansen)
