Early Works. A Collection of 12 Films - DVD

Joshua Oppenheimer is one of the world's most renowned documentary filmmakers. His multi award-winning films The Act of Killing (2012) and The Look of Silence (2014) have challenged and redefined perceptions about the very nature of documentary cinema.

Second Run are delighted to present, for the first time ever on home video, the complete cycle of Joshua Oppenheimer's early works. These films do not simply record or document facts; they are playful, artistic, and philosophical. Often confrontational, and frequently disquieting, they reveal how Oppenheimer's instinct for social justice has developed into a fully-fledged art form. A compelling body of work, this DVD contains 12 films: • Light Test (1995) • Camera Test (1995) • Hugh (1996) • The Challenge of Manufacturing (1996) • These Places We’ve Learned to Call Home (1996) • The Entire History of the Louisiana Purchase (1997) • Land of Enchantment (2000) • The Globalisation Tapes (2002) • Market Update (2002) • A Brief History of Paradise as Told by the Cockroaches (2002) • Muzak: A Tool of Management (2002) • Postcard from Sun City, Arizona (2003) Second Run present Joshua Oppenheimer's early works from brand new re-mastered transfers of the films, supervised and approved by the director - plus a newly filmed, exclusive interview with director Joshua Oppenheimer.
