A retrospective screening of The Act of Killing by Joshua Oppenheimer
In a country where killers are celebrated as heroes, the filmmakers challenge unrepentant death squad leaders to dramatize their role in genocide. The hallucinatory result is a cinematic fever dream, an unsettling journey deep into the imaginations of mass-murderers and the shockingly banal regime of corruption and impunity they inhabit.
This retrospective screening is organised by Regent Street Cinema in collaboration with the Centre for Research and Education in Arts and Media (CREAM), University of WestminsterDocumentaryPT2H2M152025-04-01
