"...the world premiere of a fabulously Brechtian 30-minute film
<italic>What Farocki Taught</italic>, by Jill Godmilow, which she made
with her film students at Notre Dame University. Godmilow took a
30-year-old work by the Egyptian-German director Harun Farocki, and
reshot it exactly, frame-by-frame, camera position by camera position.
Farocki's was a Vietnam War-era inquiry into civilian responsibility
for the development of killer napalm; it was set at Dow Chemical
headquarters in Michigan. As reconfigured by Godmilow, the film is
intellectually rigorous and emotionally frightening, a ferocious,
committed, important historical/political tract for the amnesiac
'90's."
Cheers to Jill !!!
