The seminar willexplore the “essay-film” as a form which enables to combine an intellectualcomplexity with the playfulness of the cinematic experience. It helps to touch upon complex questions, which usually need a greater study and research. 

Looking at the work of Chris Marker and Harun Farocki the seminar will also ask questions of how this form creates an access to the possibility of handling complexities of our time.
