>
> "...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."
