Waldheims Walzer

Ruth Beckermann invites us to dance in her journey into the Austrian past (and soul). The year is 1986 and the country is in the midst of a presidential election campaign. At its head: a man ‘trusted by the world’ - until brown stains appear on his white waistcoat. Rare and carefully edited archive material is used to shed light on an inglorious chapter of Austrian contemporary history that is still relevant today. (Florian Widegger)
