scifirenegadeBut in English, thank Yetaxa.
First, something serious.
Come on, Baby, Be My Tiger, a great essay on the many (three! why are there three??) versions of The Indian Tomb. It touches on the films' placement in German film history and orientalism/fetishisation/racism. A good read, recommended.
EDIT: Did you know, a lot of Germans thought Eschnapur was a real place?
And now, the silly.
Lost Media (TM) nowadays is all about stupid meat apps and American game shows. But the real lost media is all the Connie fan fiction hosted on the old Conrad Veidt Society website! From 1998! It predates the earliest known fic by over 10 years! (There are earlier Casablanca fics from the early 2000s, but, ya know, his character...)
One even seems to be FP1 fic! (The other is RPF?? I think??) No idea who the authors are, and appears no other fics were added.
