Togoland – Projections takes us to the territory of the former German colony of Togo. We follow the film expedition of director Hans Schomburgk,who shot documentary and adventure films there in 1913-1914. We show his films to today’s Togolese public, to question the film images regarding their historical background and the effects of colonialism. What do they show, what do they
conceal about “Togoland”, which at the time was praised as the “model colony” of the German Empire ?
