- Theatre the Hard Way: Famously infamous German Director Christoph Schlingensief stages a piece by Elfriede Jelinek in Vienna and Zurich. Filmed in 2003, a late love-letter ten years after his death.
- In 2011, a year after his death, famously provocative German director Christoph Schlingensief received the Golden Lion at the Biennale Venezia for his legacy in art. Little did they know to what extremes he would go in unleashing his unique "social plastics", interactive challenging test areas, where audiences and actors are likewise dipped into an inspiring chaos. This Doc Miniature shows him staging a play by nobel prize winner Elfriede Jelinek at Burgtheatre Vienna and Schauspielhaus Zürich, going over the edge by continuing the rehearsals despite a nervous breakdown and leaving behind stunned stars like Udo KIer, Irm Hermann and Peter Kern. Austrian Director Paul Poet was already Schlingensiefs partner in crime for the well-known Big Brother for asylum seekers-event at Wiener Festwochen 2000, chronicled in the Cinema Doc "Foreigners out. Schlingensiefs Container" (2002). Poet had started a second movie with Schlingensief, that never got finished, and only released material now. For almost 20 years this material stayed unreleased after the targeted feature doc deemed impossible to finance, since both Christoph Schlingensief and me were deemed "nest polluters" in Austria for attacking the government for it's xenophobia with the famous container installation in 2000. Only now in honor of Schlingensiefs 10th day of death, bits of this "lost" material are released to honour his important artistic legacy. Small clips were licensed to Bettina Böhlers Cinema Doc "Schlingensief". Five Films were edited for a film installation called "Church of Fear Loops I - V", premiering at Forum Stadtpark Graz August 2020. "Attabambi Shitonme" as an exclusive piece on his theatre work was kept for a later World Release.—Paul Poet
