    www.influencefilmclub.com Man on Wire Discussion Guide Director: James Marsh Year: 2008 Time: 94 min You might know this director from: Project Nim (2011) Shadow Dancer (2012) The King (2005) FILM SUMMARY MAN ON WIRE is the story of French tightrope walker Philippe Petit who, on August 7, 1974, broke into the newly constructed Twin Towers of Manhattan. After months of painstaking preparations, he managed to enter the buildings during the night and string a wire between the two towers. For the next 45 minutes, Philippe Petit walked, danced, kneeled, and laid down on the wire - an expeirence he had dreamt of ever since he read about the Twin Towers six years before. Using contemporary interviews, archival footage, and Philippe’s own creations, this film tells the story of Philippe’s previous walks between towers such as the Notre Dame and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Viewers learn about his passions, his friendships, and how he accomplished his Twin Towers walk, from getting the wire into the towers and hiding from guards to mounting the wire and taking the first step. The result is a story of daring, beauty, dedication to the point of insanity, loyalty and heartbreak, and the firm belief that nothing is impossible. Discussion Guide Man on Wire 1 www.influencefilmclub.com FILM THEMES On the surface, MAN ON WIRE may appear to be about one man’s determination to achieve his dream, but the story reveals a lot about human nature, from friendship and loyalty to dreaming beyond the norm “I must be a and achieving the impossible.

What roles do interventionist filmmakers play in processes of national reconciliation and transitional justice? Can The act of killing really be a catalyst for change in Indonesia? This article contends that the genocide documentary is a form of antagonistic intervention that warrants systematic and critical re-evaluation.

  • Human Rights Cinema: the Act of Killing and the Act of Watching
    Human Rights Cinema: The Act of Killing and the Act of Watching Barry Collins* Over the past twenty years, the phenomenon of Human Rights Cinema has emerged as an important way to think about the relationship between visual culture, human rights and activism. This article will interrogate some of the presuppositions behind this phenomenon and examine what it means for both cinema and the concept of human rights. The article will then look atThe Act of Killing, a 2012 documentary that has raised many questions for the project of Human Rights Cinema. It will be argued that The Act of Killing does not fit easily within the canon of Human Rights Cinema, not simply because of controversies surrounding its making, but also because of the challenges it poses for ideas of spectatorship and authority. Furthermore, this article will propose that Slavoj Žižek’s observations on The Act of Killing provide a useful means to critique the understanding of human rights predominant in the concept of Human Rights Cinema. 1. Human Rights Cinema and the question of truth Since the early 1990s, a plethora of human rights film festivals has sprung up around the world, effectively inventing the concept of Human Rights Cinema. This now widely accepted category of film brings together the aesthetic concerns of the film- maker with those of the human rights activist. Human rights film festivals, the earliest being that of Seattle in 1992, are attended annually by thousands of people, and have played a vital role in advancing the idea of Human Rights Cinema. In 1994, the Human Rights Film Network was established in Prague.

  • Activism in Action: Screening the Act of Killing and the Look of Silence in the West
    . Volume 15, Issue 1 May 2018 Activism in action: Screening The Act of Killing and The Look of Silence in the West Kristi Kouchakji, McGill University/Concordia University, Canada Abstract: The Act of Killing (2012, Joshua Oppenheimer) and The Look of Silence (2014, Oppenheimer) are widely treated as a diptych. While both films have opened global discussion of Indonesia’s 1965 genocide, the affect and aesthetics at play, combined with the geographic and temporal distance of these events, give eurowestern viewers permission to avoid confronting eurowestern implication in these events. I argue that for these films to serve as activist programming in a eurowestern context, they should be considered as part of a triptych with The Globalisation Tapes, a 2002 union-activist video facilitated by Oppenheimer that explicitly connects eurowestern imperialism and Indonesian oppression. When seen after having viewed the first two films, these connections concretize the affect and outrage they generate, creating conditions for mobilizing viewers to take action as consumers and citizens to address the root causes of global injustice. Drawing on responses gathered during a study in which people watched all three films, this paper develops and builds on an argument for showing the films as a triptych, and for considering the activist potential inherent in a curatorial practice. Keywords: Activism, impact, Oppenheimer, programming, screening, curatorial practices, audience, subjectivity, archive, mobilization, affect. Introduction The Act of Killing (2012, Joshua Oppenheimer), in which perpetrators of Indonesia’s 1965 genocide lavishly re-enact their crimes as though they were scenes from American and Indonesian genre films, and The Look of Silence (2014, Oppenheimer), in which the brother of a man killed in the genocide confronts those responsible, are widely treated as a diptych.

  • Journey to the Academy Awards: an Investigation of Oscar-Shortlisted and Nominated Documentaries (2014-2016) PRELIMINARY KEY
    Journey to the Academy Awards: An Investigation of Oscar-Shortlisted and Nominated Documentaries (2014-2016) PRELIMINARY KEY FINDINGS By Caty Borum Chattoo, Co-Director, Center for Media & Social Impact American University School of Communication | Washington, D.C. February 2016 OVERVIEW For a documentary filmmaker, being recognized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences for an Oscar nomination in the Best Documentary Feature category is often the pinnacle moment in a career. Beyond the celebratory achievement, the acknowledgment can open up doors for funding and opportunities for next films and career opportunities. The formal recognition happens in three phases: It begins in December with the Academy’s announcement of a shortlist—15 films that advance to a formal nomination for the Academy’s Best Documentary Feature Award. Then, in mid-January, the final list of five official nominations is announced. Finally, at the end of February each year, the one winner is announced at the Academy Awards ceremony. Beyond a film’s narrative and technical prowess, the marketing campaigns that help a documentary make it to the shortlist and then the final nomination list are increasingly expensive and insular, from advertisements in entertainment trade outlets to lavish events to build buzz among Academy members and industry influencers. What does it take for a documentary film and its director and producer to make it to the top—the Oscars shortlist, the nomination and the win? Which film directors are recognized—in terms of race and gender?
