Re: [Frameworks] looking for film about Walter Benjamin's suitcase

Abigail, 

Could it be Who Killed Walter Benjamin, (Dir David Mauas, 2005)?   
http://www.ruthfilms.com/who-killed-walter-benjamin.html

I am not sure if this is the film you are thinking of, and my recollection is, 
as with its title, it mostly throws doubt onto Benjamin’s suicide.  However, I 
do recall the film did making mention of the missing valise.

Sincerely, 
Damon Stanek

Hi Abigail,

I wonder if you are thinking of Barbara Hammer's *Resisting Paradise*? It
is a very good film.

http://barbarahammer.com/films/resisting-paradise/

I am not sure who is the current distributor--neither FMC nor Canyon
currently has it, I think.

Best,
Seth
