Togoland Projections is quite an intriguing documentary, really. It blends the past and present in a unique way, showing us the journey of Hans Schomburgk through Togo. The old footage paired with modern-day scenes creates a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere, making you feel like you’re stepping back in time while also confronting the present. Jürgen Ellinghaus’s work here is notable for its pacing; it allows moments to breathe, letting you soak in the landscapes and the weight of history. The themes of colonialism and memory are palpable. The practical effects are minimal, but that’s part of its charm—it's raw and authentic. And you can sense the connection between Schomburgk and Gehrts, which adds a personal touch to the film’s narrative.
