Toronto friends: don't miss this May 26 event
A haunting and beautifully combative piece. I love the way Haddad uses visual and sonic textures: this feels, in some ways, like the transgressive cinematic equivalent of early noise & industrial music. The film conveys a kind of "silhouetted" narrative that seems to overlay its horror coding (a grim expression of "eternal return") over actual documentary footage and journalist photography with serious verisimilitude. I love seeing artists interested in confrontation and disruption, and I see these qualities all over Haddad's work.
