Images of the World and the Inscription of War (1988, 75 min) shows us American war footage. We see an aerial view of the IG Farben factory - a bombing target - but also Auschwitz next to it, a 'blind spot' to the Allies reviewing the footage. Spanning continents and cultures, In Comparison (2009, 61 min) is a deceptively contemplative documentary about contemporary brick production, from the collective efforts of a community building a clinic in Burkina Faso, through semi-industrialised mouldings in India, to industrial production lines in Germany, France, Austria and Switzerland.

This event includes a presentation by The Otolith Group.
