On Visibilities and Violence examines the power of images: their creation, their potential – but also their destructive influence. How do films (and above all we as individuals) come to terms with concrete and structural violence? How does the act of showing become a source of empowerment, or a gaze become a weapon, a camera a tool, to counteract oppressive structures, to fight back against their status quo, to create counternarratives? How can violence be depicted at all – without reproducing it and making visible that which actually eludes any form of visibility?
