Beyond the Visible: A Vital Film (w. review)

Yael Hersonski’s An Unfinished Film
Had posted a trailer back in August, but this film requires much more attention.
My short review:
One of the sharpest media literacy lesson to be found: the set-up and staging stink… we are indeed all actors in a terrible movie, but it is clear that whatever the word “hell” stands for, these images were conceived through one of the most vicious deceptions ever devised in “that place.”
As the indictment reaches us all, the images, in the ob/scenity (as what should be “off-stage”) of the endless visible humiliations, scream for the elusive possibility of an “ethical viewership,” away from our scopophilic universe.
An urgent and vital film which like the Holocaust and ALL mass murders cannot be digested.
Not to forget, and to do something now before it is, once more, too late. –>A+
