Clips from this film were shown at a Reutoff concert in Zugzwang. Here is the recording: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Im2\_eFC9S78](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Im2_eFC9S78)

I tried searching the Internet for the phrases on the screen (EACH DAY IS A DRIVE TO CIRKUS [2:18-2:31] and HIMMEL [5:03]), but could not find anything. I tried searching pretty much every frame of this in reverse image search (Yandex, Google, Bing, Tineye, Sogou), but found no matches.

Here are some more [frames](https://s3.amazonaws.com/writecomments.com/blog/frames.html)

On those frames, we can see:

- a tortured woman wearing a mask
- she’s in a room with a tripod
- KODAK 5052 TMX film, Alamy stock footage watermark, HIMMEL
- dead animals
- amusement park
- little kids

I’ve been obsessed with this film ever since I saw the clips. It appears to be packed with symbolism (evil innocence, a juxtaposition of innocent children with something horrific being recorded on film, a mask obscuring the eyes possibly indicating censorship, the skull of a horse as the symbol of death next to horse carousels at an amusement park, etc).

Reutoff uses clips from all over in their concerts. There was a music video for Thee Maldoror Kollective, some old Soviet films, the cursed tape from the Ring, work by Jan Švankmajer, etc. It could be from anywhere.

It reminds me a lot of Japanese cyberpunk (Shinya Tsukamoto and Shozin Fukui and their films Tetsuo and 964 Pinnochio). The wires coming off the mask with the eyes on the woman look a lot like the cables tethering Tomorô Taguchi to the mind-controlling device in Tetsuo 2.

If you have any ideas for where to look for this, please share them. I really appreciate and need all the help I can get with this.
