Thomas, Thomas is a 2010 German short mockumentary film, directed by German film director Corinna Liedtke. The film participated in several German and European film festivals and won a few prizes.^[1]^[2]

Plot

Wolfgang Weber is a bit unworldly archivist of the city of Castrop-Rauxel. He makes an astonishing discovery while receiving treatment at Thomas Vallomtharayil’s Ayurvedic clinic. 150 years earlier, another Thomas was at work where the clinic stands today: the Irish mining pioneer and Ruhr legend Thomas Mulvany. This film accompanies the archivist in a documentary style through his research into the astounding parallels between the lives of the two Thomas’, which leads Wolfgang Weber to a striking conclusion: Thomas Vallomtharayil is the reincarnation of Thomas Mulvany.

Awards

2010: Special mention at the 27th Kassel Documentary Film and Video Festival in Kassel, Germany
2011: Team Award at the German film festival 24th Stuttgarter Filmwinter

Background

At first Thomas, Thomas was only an episode of the German TV movie Zeche is nich – Sieben Blicke auf das Ruhrgebiet 2010, which was produced in the context of Ruhr.2010. The film tells the fictional and non-fictional stories of young filmmakers of their home, the Ruhr Area. Later Thomas, Thomas and other episodes of this TV movie were released as self-contained films.
