The Look of Silence returns to Durham in January for the Full Frame Winter Series, part of the Full Frame Road Show presented by PNC!
Winter Series screenings are free and open to the public, and take place in Fletcher Hall at the Carolina Theatre.
In this arresting companion piece to his 2012 film, THE ACT OF KILLING, director Joshua Oppenheimer focuses on the victims of the genocide committed in 1960s Indonesia, and follows Adi, a gentle village optometrist whose older brother was brutally killed during the massacre fifty years ago. Adi is unwilling to bury the past, and he does the unthinkable in a society silenced by fear: he confronts the perpetrators directly. As he conducts eye exams on the men who murdered his brother and countless others, he asks hard and patient questions about their involvement in genocide—what they did, what they think of their actions, how they live with themselves.
