Town Hall Theater Presents:

"The Look of Silence" Screening and Q&A

Saturday, November 15 at 7:00 PM in the Anderson Studio

Middlebury College student Devin Santikarma, affiliated with the New Perennials Project, presents the free film The Look of Silence.

The Look of Silence is Joshua Oppenheimer’s powerful companion piece to the Oscar®-nominated The Act of Killing. Through Oppenheimer’s footage of perpetrators of the 1965 Indonesian genocide, a family of survivors discovers how their son was murdered, as well as the identities of the killers. The documentary focuses on the youngest son, who decides to break the suffocating spell of submission and terror by confronting the men who killed his brother and asking them to accept responsibility for their actions.

The film will be followed by a Q&A with Devin Santikarma, and his father Lgustimade Santikarma, who is an Indonesian genocide survivor.
