Der tote Winkel der Wahrnehmung

Vienna, 1996. A mini-DV tape with footage for a student documentary. Alina and Flora interview unreliable witnesses to the appearance of extraterrestrial reptilian creatures. But soon they themselves drift further and further into the narrative: Lizards subjugating humanity through hybridization? Sounds plausible. At some point, the Hofburg is in flames, and reason itself is in ruins. Michael Gülzow's mockumentary hilariously satirizes the media logic and spread of conspiracy ideologies.
