Through films such as The Act of Killing (2012) and The Look of Silence (2014), Joshua Oppenheimer transformed the possibilities of documentary filmmaking. He created bold and unsettling films that challenge audiences to confront not only historical violence and political power, but also the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and how we face human life. In this conversation, Dana Linssen will discuss Oppenheimer's most recent short film screened at IDFA, The Revolution Against Death, a fascinating meditation on the pursuit of immortality, how he sees this work and other short films he created in the context of his oeuvre.
