Amazons and Their Men

Clubbed Thumb presents Amazons and Their Men, by Jordan Harrison, directed by Ken Rus Schmoll, as part of its Summerworks 2007 festival.

The Frau used to make beautiful films for a fascist government. Now she’s trying to direct a film that’s simply beautiful. The Frau casts
herself in the lead role of the Amazon queen Penthesilea, who falls for Achilles on the battlefield of the Trojan War. But when her actors
start disappearing, it becomes difficult for the Frau to ignore the real war outside her sound stage. Inspired by the life and work of
Leni Riefenstahl.
