Video essay on the work of Jia Zhangke by Kevin B. Lee, specially commissioned by Eye Filmmuseum and IFFR as a response to the installation Close-Up.

‘Kevin’s piece on his childhood experiences with the film Platoon are an example of the very power of cinema to shape our relationship with the world, and the world’s relationship with us … an experience of childhood trauma so visceral, that I haven’t just gained new insight on the war epic itself.’ (Cidnii Wilde Harris)

Kevin analyzes a video described as the “first feature film” produced by ISIS. Struck by the mainstream media’s fascination with the video as a movie, he explores possible cinematic connections: Nazi propaganda movies, Hollywood, and early leftist revolutionary filmmaking. Afraid of facing ISIS images directly, he adopts interruptive viewing techniques to bypass the video’s terrorist qualities and uncover insights into its contents.

Two researchers investigate the dissemination of propaganda created by the terrorist organization known as the Islamic State and contemplate the media’s role in spreading this message. Exchanging video letters recorded from their computer desktops, the researchers share their thoughts and fears as they each dissect pieces of media produced by ISIS in 2014 that are still available online today.

Neste diário em vídeo profundamente pessoal, uma jovem pesquisadora tenta entender seu fascínio pelo filme "A Dor dos Outros," de Penny Lane. Um mergulho profundo no mundo desconfortável do YouTube e nas conspirações online, que desafiam as noções tradicionais do que é ou deveria ser o cinema documental.

What can be learned from watching only the moments when an artist appears in his own work? Harun Farocki appears in 24 of his own films; his time on screen totals 2 hours and 21 minutes: enough to form a movie in itself. The footage reveals a remarkable, evolving relationship between a man and his own images.

Five decades of Harun Farocki's film and video material are transformed into an audiovisual vocabulary, teaching key Farockian concepts from A to Z. This video essay takes inspiration from Farocki's lifelong fascination with the teaching functions of film and media. Commissioned by the Goethe-Institut, a leading German-language educator in the world.

This desktop investigation asks: how can one begin to learn about Farocki? Starting with a naive search for his name online, this film scans over his body of work and asks how one should begin to watch it. By using different methods to make sense of Farocki's images, a key concept emerges: the counter-image.

Um filme de Kevin B. Lee

This video presents Chapters 3 and 4 from the series. « The Spokesman » (aka « A Guide to be driven ») investigates the online traces of John Cantlie, a British news reporter who was kidnapped and appeared in several Islamic State's propaganda videos. « My Crush was a Superstar » tracks a French ISIS fighter, Abu Abdallah Guitone, through a trail of messages, videos and postings to uncover his existence in both social media and reality. This leads to an uncomfortable first-person exploration of the gender dynamics behind ISIS recruitment strategies.

On the Chicago filmmaker's exuberant approach to the medium. As Lori says, 'You may never find an answer, because playing is the best part.'

Kevin investigates the online traces of a British news reporter who was kidnapped and appeared in several Islamic State propaganda videos.

“The film [Right Now Then Wrong] is really fascinating — it is basically the same story told twice, back to back, and the thing I really wanted to know is how the first version of the story compares to the second. If I took the same scene from both versions and played them at the same time, what could I find out? That was a wonderful exercise in critical viewing and side-by side analysis, but then I started to get a bit self-conscious: “Oh, maybe the audience doesn’t want to see this footage.” So, I thought maybe I can offer an alternative experience — if they don’t want to be spoiled, I can tell a story inspired by the film. This idea of having two video essays playing a the same time on different halves of the screen, the top and the bottom, and then at the beginning just instructing the audience that they can choose which one they want to see, they can simply use their hands to block the part of the screen they don’t want to see.
