Eldorado

In the organizer's words:

Anyone who thought that the age of alternative facts and large-scale economic policy intrigues had only begun with Trump and his armada of willing henchmen with their own vested interests should rub their eyes in amazement. Because, firstly, greed for oil has not just been driving the market since yesterday and, secondly, its scarcity has apparently always given rise to all kinds of bizarre plans and players. As in the case of the French-Belgian prestige production "Eldorado", which is set against the backdrop of the desperate search for black gold during the 1973 oil crisis. Here, the research team of a Belgian aristocratic physicist and a shrewd Italian television technician become partners of Elf Aquitaine, who claim to be able to identify not only water but also oil deposits with a physical measuring device from the air. Like many other business models, this is quite a castle in the air that is kept alive with all kinds of technical tricks for the investor. Based on one of the biggest fraud scandals in recent French economic history, the events in "Eldorado" function as a blueprint for numerous deepfake and business fantasies.
