liannaFilm recommendation: (Link at the end of the post)One of my favourite films is The Festival of the Chicken [Das Fest des Huhnes], an Austrian mockumentary from the 90s.It's a parody of those anthropology documentary films that Europeans used to and still make about African and Asian societies."The Festival of the Chicken" is a classic trope reversal. According to its narrative, a Black, African team of anthropologists and filmmakers go to rural Europe – Upper Austria to be precise – to document the locals' society, life and culture.In the same arrogant and condescending way that white filmmakers talk about, judge – and wildly misinterpret – societies in the equivalent documentaries about Africa, they 'analyse' Upper Austrian society.For example, people going on a bicycle tour is filmed and interpreted from afar as a senseless and confusing nomadic ritual that implies a deep-rooted yearning for the Europeans' nomadic past. It's fundamentally representative of the Europeans' life, dictated by tradition and superstition more than reason.A folk festival with tons of alcohol is portrayed as a massive, compulsory, primitive cult rite of self-harm and delusion, where even adolescents are senselessly forced into intoxication for twisted spiritual purposes. Concluding – of course – with the idea that perhaps such barbarian European traditions as beer feasts are the reason and an indicator as to their cultural inferiority and underdevelopment, and that they perhaps need humanitarian colonisation to teach them about manners and human rights.It's satire with a bite – the point being that the actually serious documentaries that exist en masse about non-European cultures are racist nonsense, misinterpreting and overanalysing cultures they fundamentally don't even want to understand.You can watch it with English subtitles here:<a href="https://youtu.be/gy8poDqAhhg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/gy8poDqAhhg</a><a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/austria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Austria</a> <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/documentary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Documentary</a> <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/film" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Film</a> <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/filmmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Filmmaking</a> <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/movie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Movie</a> <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/mockumentary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mockumentary</a> <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/anthropology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Anthropology</a> <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Academia</a> <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/socialsciences" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SocialSciences</a> <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Racism</a> <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/antiracism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Antiracism</a> <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/africa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Africa</a> <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/%C3%B6sterreich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Österreich</a> <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/atpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ATpol</a> <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/oldmovies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OldMovies</a> <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/movies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Movies</a>

Ross of OttawaWatching an old movie "Beyond the Time Barrier" (1960) which is very campy but interesting as a snapshot of its time.

kauerSort of on <a href="https://dice.camp/@miriamrobern" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@miriamrobern</a>'s recommendation, I grabbed "The Gorgon" from archive.org. It's quite good, though very of its time. Screams of terror have come a long way since then, and directors have for the most part learned that long soulful looks from leading ladies aren't quite as interesting as they'd like. Though my goodness you could cut sheet steel with Barbara Shelley's cheekbones, not to mention her vowels.It has Patrick Troughton in it! One of the early Doctors Who. Took me a few appearances to twig it.I've downloaded the other three that Hammer put out as a sort of quartet of films, will see if they are also any good. Reading the synopsis of "The Kiss of the Vampire" it looks as if it may well have been a good part of the inspiration for Rocky Horror. Then again, the basic story is pretty common.<a href="https://aus.social/tags/Movies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Movies</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/OldMovies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OldMovies</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/HammerFilm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HammerFilm</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/TheGorgon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheGorgon</a>

AlexWhen I played this four years ago I was so moved by it—a game in which you can do almost whatever you want but the plot moves on without you, sort of like life itself. The music is fantastic and there are lots of nice touches like books you can read and references to _Akira_.
