Guest: Director Peter Heller about VERKAUFTE GÖTTER… (Africa Alive)

VERKAUFTE GÖTTER. GETAUSCHT – GERAUBT – GERETTET

Museums around the world house extensive collections of African art. On the art market, they have become objects of speculation. Prices rose to unimaginable heights for a long time. Now this market is coming to a standstill, threatening countless jobs in Africa as well. A debate has been sparked about the repatriation of art objects. The film VERKAUFTE GÖTTER. GETAUSCHT – GERAUBT – GERETTET traces African art among dealers in West Africa and collectors in Europe, at auctions and in museums in Basel and Bamako, Brussels and Paris, Munich and Berlin.
