Harun Farocki, On Display: Peter Weiss A Production Dossier
Impressed by Peter Weiss’ novel The Aesthetics of Resistance, whose first volume had been published in 1975, Farocki planned to conduct a long TV interview with Weiss for the German public-broadcaster Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR). Realizing the project took longer than hoped, but on June 17 and 18, 1979, the meeting finally took place in Weiss’ studio. On Display: Peter Weiss, the result of two days’ shooting, was broadcasted on October 19, 1979.
