Second Unit Director
The Man Who Saw Too Much tells the story of 106-year-old Boris Pahor, believed to be the oldest known survivor of the Nazi concentration camps. He was sent to Dachau, Dora, Harzungen, Bergen-Belsen and Natzweiler – one of the Nazis' least known but most deadly camps. Twenty years after the war, Pahor wrote an extraordinary book about his experiences called Necropolis - City of the Dead. Pahor’s harrowing descriptions are illustrated with remarkable drawings by fellow prisoners, creating a unique record of conditions in the Nazi death camps. His testimony, along with details from a shocking report into the camp by British intelligence officer Captain Yurka Galitzine and the chilling testimony by SS commandant Josef Kramer, infamous as the Beast of Belsen, combine to tell an extraordinary story.
Director
A deconstruction of an architectural symbol suffused with fascist ideology, from a viewpoint somewhere between repulsion and fascination.
Filmed in 8mm and then enlarged to 16mm, the image takes on accumulated contrasts and a nearly pictorial grain. The second part was filmed in stop-motion using slide stills captured on site, which allow more freedom in deconstructing the image.
Director
A stop-motion journey through a tropical forest, over rocky trails in search of an illusory connection to a manicured version of nature. At the foot of the Arenal Volcano, in a massive Costa Rican nature reserve, we are confronted with a wave of eco-tourism. The camera tries to escape, but a feeling of simulacrum lingers.
