Now streaming for a limited time on Video Data Bank’s VDB TV is Jill Godmilow’s What Farocki Taught! This work is a 1998 remake of Harun Farocki’s 1969 film Inextinguishable Fire. What Farocki Taught examines the development of Napalm during the Vietnam War, and challenges the concepts of what a documentary could be. Tune in and watch for free at www.vdb.org/tv!
In addition to the streaming video, you can also check out an essay written about What Farocki Taught by Tom Gunning, and an interview with Harun Farocki and Jill Godmilow by Jennifer Horne and Jonathan Kahana. Find these interesting reads under the ‘Recourses’ section.
