The Green of the Grass: Harun Farocki in Filmkritik

Rainer Knepperges
July 2002
Harun Farocki
A montage of pithy and revealing quotes from Farocki's writings in Filmkritik.

Established in Melbourne (Australia) in 1999, Senses of Cinema is one of the first online film journals of its kind and has set the standard for professional, high quality film-related content on the Internet.

Senses of Cinema was founded on stolen lands. We acknowledge the sovereignty of the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin nation and support all Aboriginal people on their paths to self-determination.
