Originally conceived as a film about 9/11, Richard Wagner, and the warrior Hagen von Tronje, to be shot in the German southwest African colony of Lüderitz, Namibia, The African Twin Towers instead turned into an unusually personal and absorbing documentary about an incomplete film and Schlingensief’s art in general.
