Harun Farocki
2007 - Allemagne - Noir & Blanc - 40'
Respite exhumes the rushes of an unfinished film shot at the Westerbork camp (Netherlands) in 1944 on the orders of the Nazi command. In an approach opposite to the televisual transformations of these archives, the film digs into the infinite traces left by the image and summons what was left off-screen to reach their "buried meaning" and make our knowledge "more precise, more embodied, more cutting" according to Georges Didi-Huberman.
