Bizarre, disturbing, experimental — a history lesson of a different kind.
How do you tell the story of someone who believed that Hitler was an avatar of Vishnu and lived below ground in Antarctica? Through a film claiming to be the work of Miguel Serrano, a Chilean diplomat and exponent of “esoteric Hitlerism”. Real footage and stop-motion animation meet fake computer games and stage performances, bringing to light Chile’s deep brown heritage.
