Description

With the first two films of his POSTWAR trilogy—DISPLACED PERSON (pictured, 10 min.) and COOPERATION OF PARTS (40 min.)—Eisenberg explores two different traumatic histories, using film form to express what could not be expressed through language alone. As David Schwartz of Museum of the Moving Image noted, both films “deal with European uprooting, and through a distilled reshaping of images and narrated texts, raise questions about how knowledge and consciousness are transmitted.” Skoller in attendance, in conversation with Daniel Eisenberg.
