What activities do the Europeans engage in while on vacation in Africa? What do their relationships with local inhabitants look like? Austrian director Urlich Seidl takes a closer look at the phenomenon of exotic travels, following the participants of an exclusive safari expedition and watching "sugar mamas" in Kenyan seaside resorts. With the holiday season approaching, we especially recommend these two films, available on VoD.MDAG.pl, which reflect on the ethical aspects of tourism and perfectly illustrate how colonial power relations are reproduced. You can purchase single access to the films for PLN 9.50 or buy a pass for several films!

"Safari," dir. Urlich Seidl

Africa. In the wild expanses, where bushbucks, impalas, zebras, gnus and other creatures graze by the thousands, they are on holiday. German and Austrian hunting tourists drive through the bush, lie in wait, stalk their prey. They shoot, sob with excitement and pose before the animals they have bagged. A vacation movie about killing, a movie about human nature.

"Paradise: love," dir. Urlich Seidl

On Kenya’s beaches they are known as "sugar mamas": European women who seek out African boys selling love to earn a living. Teresa, a 50-year-old Austrian woman, travels to this vacation paradise.
