(Inexstinguishable Fire)

Directed by Harun Farocki
Documentary, 1969, 25 mins.

Harun Farocki’s first movie after leaving film school combines didactics and political agitation with a sparse cinematic style. Farocki contrasts the voyeurism of Vietnam War reporting with a didactic arrangement: a model reconstruction of napalm manufacture is followed by a playful call to revolution.

The film will be introduced by Abhijit Roy, Professor, Department of Film Studies, Jadavpur University.
