Documentary Meets 2.03: A New Product
Event description
Join us on Friday 22nd July for the next iteration of Documentary Meets, featuring A New Product by Harun Farocki.
In this 2012 film, Farocki transforms a mundane situation, where executives and consultants talk about optimizing employees’ workspace in order to improve productivity, into theatre of the absurd, blessed with acerbic wit and a sharp critical sense. By filming what appears to be the dullest possible thing, he has created a subtle report from a world whose violent machinery shines through from under a veneer of decorum. Above all, the film lets us appropriate images of an implacable system. Black comedy at its finest.
'Documentary Meets' is an ongoing non-fiction film screening series curated by Emmett Aldred and Keva York, presented in partnership with Composite on the third Thursday of every other month.
