Screening of production material from the upcoming "The face of the enemy"
Exploring conflict. In the face of representation.

Stockholm based artist and filmmaker Erik Pauser has been exploring conflicting
representations of history through his long term project dealing with the legacy
of the war in Vietnam. Over five million Vietnamese died in what one side calls the
American War and the other side calls the Vietnam War. The installation and film
project The Face of the Enemy is constructed out of 200 hours of interviews with
Vietnamese war veterans and civilians and tries to unravel the conflict through first
hand accounts of the Vietnamese that fought in The American war. His talk centres
around screening of excerpts of the work in progress and questions how history is told,
edited and explored through the medium of film.
