Synopsis
Shortly before the First World War, the German "Africa explorer" and film director Hans Schomburgk embarked on an unprecedented film expedition to West Africa to shoot adventure and documentary films in the exotic setting in the north of the then German colony of Togo. To this day, his films remain virtually unknown in Togo.
Guided by the report of the actress Meg Gehrts, we travel more than a century later with a mobile cinema to the original locations of Schomburgk's film adventures. Together with Togolese viewers, we want to question the film images regarding their historical background and the effects of colonialism.
