Plot
A friend had given me some old footage shot in Germany preWWIIduring the 30s Among all the images of sport and people dancing were images of Hitler making his early speeches So this film is about the terrible tension of that periodjitterbugging on top of the volcano the frentic activity to have a good life in the face of the brewing horror of Nazism I used all kinds of techniquestravelling mattes optical printer rotoscoping and hand colouring and scratching the film The physical mutilation of the film frame of Hitlers imagescratching out his eyes brought fantastic relief But Im still not finished with Hitler because noone is History never will be Paul Winkler
