Gebonden EN 2026 9781501347900Samenvatting
This collectionanalyzes Joshua Oppenheimer's diptychThe Act of KillingandThe Look of Silenceas a cinematic event that invites interrelated questions on historical memory, truth and reconciliation, and the limits of documentary filmmaking.
On the Act of Looking affirms Oppenheimer's use of fiction and manipulation as a technique to expose, contrary to the classic documentary form, not so much a reality behind the appearance of things, but how appearance as such can become a site of intervention or truth-telling. Contributors to this collection, including film scholars, art historians, historians, political scientists, philosophers, and Indonesian human rights activists, answer why Oppenheimer's documentary films not only have received near universal praise and admiration, but also why this praise is often qualified by surprise and fascination.
