What In the Basement Is About
Known in German as Im Keller, In the Basement is director Ulrich Seidl's documentary that premiered out of competition at the 71st Venice Film Festival, touring Austrians' basement hobby rooms, from a doll collection to an SM studio to a room full of Nazi memorabilia.

Who it's for: anyone curious about a bold Austrian documentary that exposed ordinary people's hidden basement obsessions and triggered a genuine political scandal.
