In 1913/14, adventure and documentary films were shot in the German colony of Togo that are still largely unknown today. Jürgen Ellinghaus travelled to the original film locations with a mobile cinema to explore the historical background of the film images and the effects of colonialism to this day together with the Togolese audience.

At the end of the 19th century, the Czech artist Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939) ranked among the pioneers of the Art Nouveau movement.
