Challenging the borders between cinema and art, the German film-maker, writer and lecturer Harun Farocki reinvented the ‘filmic essay’. Beginning his filmmaking practice in the late 1960s, Farocki combined documentary and found footage to examine subjects through associations of images. From the 1990s onwards, he made films for two or more screens that comment on one another, exploring themes such as capitalism, consumerism, media, technology, war and entertainment.
This film contains excerpts from the following Farocki works: Inextinguishable Fire (1969), Videograms of a Revolution (1992), Eye / Machine II (2001), Workers Leaving the Factory in Eleven Decades (2006), Deep Play (2007), Serious Games III: Immersion (2009) and Parallel I-IV (2012-14)
