Hamlet: This Is Your Family poster

Released in 2001, Hamlet: This Is Your Family is a documentary film directed by Peter Kern, running about 81 minutes.

What it’s about. A provocative and ironic pamphleteering documentary about the making of Christoph Schlingensief’s Nazi-'Hamlet’ (2001). Both a media event and a form of political action Schlingensief let ex-neo-Nazis play themselves. His provocation in so-called Nazi-free Switzerland was not appreciated and when he added fuel to the flames by calling for the local political party SVP to be banned, his media offensive made front-page news far beyond Switzerland.

Who’s in it. Hamlet: This Is Your Family stars Christoph Schlingensief as Himself, Bibiana Beglau as Herself, Irm Hermann as Herself and Sebastian Rudolph as Himself.
