Farockis Filmprogramme

Harun Farocki (1944 – 2014) was a German filmmaker, video artist, and writer known for his provocative politicized “film-essays,” assemblages of footage from several sources accompanied by subtitles or voice-over commentary. He consistently addressed two principal subjects: the practices of labor and the production of images.

Serious Games (2009–10) shows how video games based on actual wars are used for the contradictory purposes of military training and post-traumatic stress disorder therapy. With this work, Farocki prompts viewers to think about the powerful role of visual media in shaping our understanding of ourselves and others, as well as about the social and political systems that send images into the world.
