Packet 5: Tossup 8
This country’s film Train Again is an homage to a director who made shorts like 10/65: Self-Mutilation before working as a guard at Houston’s Museum of Fine Arts. In the 1990s, a director from this country remixed Hollywood films into proto-YouTube Poop shorts like Passage à l’Acte (“pah-SAZH ah LACT”). Three women are the subjects of this country’s Paradise trilogy. This country’s Actionism movement influenced the director of Dream Work, who remixed a horror film in the short Outer (*) Space. A film from this country about a family who plan to move to Australia, but commit suicide instead, was its director’s first about couples named Anna and George. Kurt Kren, Martin Arnold, and Peter Tscherkassky (“chair-KAH-skee”) are avant-garde filmmakers from this home country of a director who moved to France to make Code Unknown and Caché (“kah-SHAY”). For 10 points, name this home country of Michael Haneke ■END■
