19thCineclub Tuesday 20 May
On Tuesday 20 May the film 'Images of the World and the Inscription of War' will be screened at Peacock. The vanishing point of the film is the conceptual image of the 'blind spot' of the evaluators of aerial footage of the IG Farben industrial plant taken by the Americans in 1944. In the film it appears that it was only decades later that the CIA noticed what the Allies hadn't wanted to see: that the Auschwitz concentration camp is depicted next to the industrial bombing target.... Starts 7pm, entry FREE.
