An Exchange for Fire: Sacrifice (Film London Jarman Award 2012)
Anja Kirschner and David Panos investigate the financial crisis from its European epicentre - Greece.
Overview
The first in a series of five shorts that bring together footage shot in Greece during 2012 with texts by Clinical Wasteman that redefine the terminology of the current global crisis. Each episode traverses moments from the history of money, the creation of the modern fiscal state and contemporary life under capitalist 'restructuring'.
Part of the Derek Jarman Awards collection.
