Who Is Afraid of Hitler’s Town?, Günter Schwaiger (Austria, 2023)
Why has no film ever been made in Austria about Hitler’s birthplace and house? This was the question director Günter Schwaiger asked himself when he began work on this film in 2018. Shortly before, the house had been expropriated by the Republic of Austria. For five years, the director accompanied the exciting developments surrounding the subsequent use of Hitler’s birthplace with a very personal view. From questioning the cliché of the “Nazi city” to surprising and outrageous discoveries, his path ultimately leads him into his own family history.
Film will be screened in original version with subtitles in Spanish.
