Clip from a mockumentary about how Africans view white culture in Austria, a land where “no black man has ever stepped foot.” Does anyone know what this is from? It reminds me of the brilliant retro comedy series, Look Around You created by Robert Popper and Peter Serafinowicz. I’d love to see the entire thing, this clip is but a cruel tease! (Reminds me of Martin Mull’s mid-80s HBO series, The History of White People in America. I will never forget the scene with Fred Willard as a clueless white man (his forte, obviously) barbecuing in his backyard wearing an apron with a cartoon hot dog asking “What Do You Want on Yours?”)

This is from a film called “Dunkles, Rätselhaftes Österreich” (Dark, mysterious Austria), a sequel of sorts to the quite famous film by the same team “Das Fest des Huhnes” (The Festivity of the Chicken”). Both were produced for Austrian Television, for a program called Kunst-Stücke, to be exact.
The original film, which is truly hilarious, can be ordered here: http://shop.orf.at/orf/shop.tmpl?art=2013

In the context, if you haven’t already, might be interesting to consider Jean Rouch’s films:

As per mine Austrian count went on African before WW!and brought back his African guide to say in his castle.Villagers came from many miles to see the African with his fancy outfits the Count gave him to wear. Unforunately, the African didn’t survive his first Balkan Winter.

Thank you so much, Norman, for digging up the original. I saw this movie a decade ago and have been looking for the title since. That it’s available for purchase is an added bonus. Awesome!
