Documentary, Austria, Germany, 2024, 24:00 min
German with English subtitles
During a 24-minute sequence of skilful still frames, the duo Hüper and Miketta take us behind the scenes of a “Schützenfest”. A small German town breaks out the bunting to welcome the arrival of brass bands, hats and rifles, as the town’s men march as one towards the throne. A quirky ethnographic exploration of the rituals of a bygone era.
