Nowadays, we're all too familiar with the endless stream of war images flashing through our phone screens. Followed closely and in real time, human lives are flattened in 2D, as privileged viewers are caught between the safety of distance, the urge to act, and the paralysis of media oversaturation. But the current genocide(s) do not mark the first time we've been enveloped by images of mass destruction. As the camera has gradually replaced the human eye as the supreme witness of war, cinema is intrinsically implicated. The five films in this program know this, and respond with a defiant act of human connection, daring to look between and beyond the frames.
Content warning: this program contains scenes of violence and war.
