Irradiated

While Panh is most closely identified with his body of work that exposes and examines the Cambodian genocide, Irradiated serves as a bleak and sobering record of war throughout the world in the 20th century. The film is presented as a triptych, where images on screen are divided into three panels. Comprised of mostly archival footage, Irradiated confronts the viewer with a stream of juxtaposed images of inhumanity and destruction, such as mass graves at Auschwitz and victims of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The narration by actors Rebecca Marder and André Wilms veers from poetic to blunt, appealing to the audience to witness and remember the images before them. In French with English subtitles. (88 mins., DCP)

Panh will introduce the film and participate in a Q&A after the screening.
