From DOCLAB:
Hanoi DOCLAB cordially invites you to the screening of the “The Act of Killing” by Joshua Oppenheimer. This Film won best documentary at the 2014 BAFTA awards and nominee for Oscar in the same year.
Duration: 159 minutes
Language: The film is in Indonesian with English subtitle
“In this chilling and inventive documentary, executive produced by Errol Morris (The Fog of War) and Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man), the filmmakers examine a country where death squad leaders are celebrated as heroes, challenging them to reenact their real-life mass killings in the style of the American movies they love. The hallucinatory result is a cinematic fever dream, an unsettling journey deep into the imaginations of mass murderers and the shockingly banal regime of corruption and impunity they inhabit. Shaking audiences at the 2012 Toronto and Telluride Film Festivals, The Act of Killing is an unprecedented film and, according to the Los Angeles Times, “could well change how you view the documentary form.”
Free Entrance.
The screening is non-profit and aims for research and studies only.
