Film Screening & Discussion: The Act of Killing
Events
The Society of Ethnographers of Georgia invites you to a series of events on research ethics, marking the official launch of this professional association.
The inaugural event features a screening and discussion of Joshua Oppenheimer’s acclaimed documentary, The Act of Killing (2014).
About the Film:
The Act of Killing explores a chapter of Indonesia's history in an extraordinary way. The director enlists a group of former killers, including Indonesian paramilitary leader Anwar Congo, to re-enact their past lives in the style of the film genres they love.
This film raises profound ethical questions—topics of vital importance for the ethnographic research community. We invite you to join us in reflecting on and discussing these issues together.
The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature and has won numerous prestigious international awards.
