Synopsis
Clairtone
Canadian electronics company Clairtone finds a successful niche producing high-end modernist stereo systems before succumbing to hard economic realities.
The Act of Killing
In this chilling and groundbreaking documentary, former Indonesian death squad leaders reenact their real-life mass killings in the style of various film genres, from gangster epics to musicals. As they recreate their past atrocities, the line between reality and performance blurs, exposing the lingering impact of Indonesia’s 1965-66 anti-communist purge and the unsettling psychology of its perpetrators.
