On Tuesday 5th August at 19:00, I'll be showing two classic essay films at the Eye Film Museum: 5000 Feet is the Best by Omer Fast (2011, 30min) and War at a Distance by Harun Farocki (2003, 58min). These are two amazing films that should be watched and re-watched by filmmakers, scholars, activists and anyone interested in understanding the relation between war, technology and humanity.

I'll briefly say a few words about the films and then will stay on for a discussion. Last Monday, the discussion after the screening of All Light Everywhere was fascinating, and I'm sure we'll have a similar one this time.

Hope to see you there!

Thanks to Julian Ross & Ronald Simons for the invitation to curate this mini-program!

“Video kliplerde içerik ve reklam artık anlamlı bir şekilde ayırt edilemiyor; romantik ilişki kavramındaki bir çift gibi ayrılamaz hâle geldiler.” —“Yort Savul” yazı dizisinin yeni metni Harun Farocki’den, video klip estetiğinin politikası üzerine:

Hâkimiyet Müziğindir

Video kliplerde, ön plana çıkmasa da alttan alta varlığını sezdiren şey hareketli görüntü ile müzik arasında öngörülemez ilişkiler kurmaktan çok içerik ile reklamı birbirinden basbayağı ayırt edilemez hâle getirmek değil mi?

The resulting documentary, Ein Bild von Sarah Schumann (1978), shows the process of creating one art piece over the course of nine weeks.

Leaving the Mill, Bolton. Humphrey Spender, 1937. Taken for Mass Observation. A resonant image -- it reminds me of #HarunFarocki's great TV film on this motif, Workers Leaving the Factory (1995). #photography
