Screening and discussion
Documentary Moments
"Take 4 - War time / War crime: Marcel Ophuls" with Marcel Ophuls and Eyal Sivan
Conceived by filmmaker Eyal Sivan, the long-term project “Documentary Moments” elaborates documentary film practice through screenings and encounters with filmmakers who shaped particular moments of the practice’s history. Its initial chapter is an homage to artists who contributed to the renaissance of documentary film in the post-war period: Alain Resnais (b. 1921), Edgar Morin (b. 1921), Marcel Ophuls (b. 1928), and Frederick Wiseman (b. 1930).
The Memory of Justice
D: Marcel Ophuls, USA/BRD/GB 1972-1976, 278 min.
Marcel Ophuls uses the documentary interview and montage to review and re-edit historical narration, subverting the hegemony of authority. His epic oeuvre – both in scope and in length – is a landmark of the critical historical essay.
Before the screening: a conversation between Marcel Ophuls and Eyal Sivan.
