On Monday, September 16, at 18:30h a new edition of Fiction & Science will take place at Rialto VU: the film program where film and science come together. Researchers and lecturers of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam will choose their favorite film and tell why they find that film so special.
Wouter Werner, professor of international law, will introduce The Act of Killing, a unique 2012 documentary about the mass killings in Indonesia during the military coup in the 1960s.
Former leaders of Indonesian death squads murdered thousands of (alleged) communists in 1965. In this acclaimed documentary, director Joshua Oppenheimer offers them the chance to make a film about that period, showing what those massacres were like.
