- The Interview
I’ve failed to write about the influential filmmaker, theorist, and video essayist Harun Farocki since he died three weeks ago, in large part because I knew very little about him before this past January, when Kevin B. Lee presented a program of his work at the Nightingale. The numerous memorials written about Farocki in the past four weeks have made it clear that he was a great teacher both in and out of the academy. Given the breadth of his output—IMDB lists 79 directorial credits—I suspect I’m not the only person still catching up with his teachings. (This piece by Michael Sicinski provides a useful map for navigating his body of work.)
