On a few Thursdays this autumn, we’re hosting HavreCine at Havremagasinet! During this event, we will be screening two films from Pablo Sigg’s LAMALAND TRILOGY: TOTENTANZ, which had its world premiere at Viennale 2023 (Vienna’s international film festival), and LAMALAND (TEIL I: SATAN), premiered back in 2018 at the Rotterdam International Film Festival.
The director will be present, and there will be a conversation held during the evening.
TOTENTANZ (Dance of Death)
BW / German / Mexico – Switzerland, 2023
93 min (English subtitles)
After destroying each other in a cold August afternoon, the last two survivors of the Aryan colony founded by Friedrich Nietzsche’s sister in the Paraguayan jungle meet again in an afterworld analogous to the world, where the struggle between master and servant, love and discord, day and night, darkness and light, still persists.

LAMALAND. TEIL I: SATAN (Lamaland. Part I: Satan)
Colour & BW / German / Mexico – Switzerland, 2018
66 min (English subtitles)
Fated to live in a radical state of isolation in the paradise lost called Nueva Germania, the two surviving descendants of the Aryan colony founded by Friedrich Nietzsche’s sister in the Paraguayan jungle have their ultimate destiny revealed to them through a spontaneous breakdown of the fossilized order of their daily existence. It is as if the dark forces of time, the gods of the air and of the elements were calling for the end of the men who dreamt of a world with one history, one language, one deity, one race and one territory.
