Artist: Oscar Panizza and Werner Schroeter

Confronting Bodies: Werner Schroeter

Description of Artwork: A film adaptation of the play Das Liebeskonzil (The Council of Love), the director Werner Schroeter used a performance of the play by Teatro Belli in Rome as a basis and set it in the context of a reconstruction of Panizza's blasphemy trial.

The Incident: In support of its ruling, the European Court applied the principle of giving national definitions of human rights a certain latitude, regardless of the symbolic implications of upholding outright censorship at a European level.

Results of Incident: In 1993, the European Court of Human Rights upheld the decision an Austrian court made seven years earlier to stop the film.
