Beschreibung
As an editor and contributor of Filmkritik, Harun Farocki wrote more than 90 articles for the journal between 1976 and 1985 and shaped its character as a platform for polemic and partisan film thinking. Volume 4 of Farocki's Writings contains all his contributions to Filmkritik from this period, complemented by the radio play "The Big Connecting Pipe" and assorted writing related to his teaching at "Deutsche Film- und Fernsehakademie Berlin" (DFFB). The volume provides insight into the context of Farocki's films Between two Wars (1978) and Before your Eyes - Vietnam (1982) and traces Farocki's perspective on the commodification of post 68-counterculture in West Berlin and the FRG in the 1970s. With a contextualising afterword by editor Volker Pantenburg.
