About the film: Projektionen der Sehnsucht

Projektionen der Sehnsucht
Projected Aspiration
Year: 1999

Drawing his early inspiration from Charles Pathé’s risqué scènes grivoises, Johann Schwarzer soon created his own style that quickly become known by amateurs across Europe as scènes viennoises. While he always revealed a little more skin than his competitors, Schwarzer never veered into pornography. His saucy films were harmless enough, aimed at a wide audience.

 

Between 1906 and 1911, Saturn’s activity quickly flourished and found many fans across Europe. But after only five years in business, the Vienna government ordered the company to shut down operations on the grounds of immorality. The ethics police hacked the films to pieces. The catalogues, negatives and copies all suffered the same fate.
