INTERVIEW, THE
[DV71315]

From his work in the fiction mode to documentary to installation, Germanfilmmaker Harun Farocki has consistently explored ideas of language, ideology,perception, and contemporary audio-visual culture. In this unique documentary,Farocki draws on the anxiety of unemployment as he follows the efforts of several candidates who take part in a training program designed to teach them how to apply for a job. The goal is to learn how to market and sell themselves, a goal that Farocki exposes as demeaning and superficial. Aninsightful look at the manipulative tactics of big business, Farocki's film is as thought provoking as it is revealing. In German with English subtitles. Harun Farocki---Germany---1997---60 mins.
