Tin City
We see clips of what looks like fragments of found footage from a dystopian, imagined town. Disembodied mannequin heads turn menacingly on a system of turntables. A bar, a bank, a shop – each location reveals another iteration of the same macabre set-up. Against this backdrop, a German television news program investigates. The secret nature of the site, located in a remote forest in northwest Germany, is revealed: it is an urban combat facility called “Tin City,” created by the British army to train its soldiers for foreign wars. The murder of the German wife of a British soldier sparks more media interest in this facility. An interview between a journalist and a spokesperson for the Irish underground terror organization – the IRA – informs us about why the Northern Ireland “Troubles” have come to mainland Europe.
