Realism as protest : Kluge, Schlingensief, Haneke / Tara Forrest

'Realism as Protest' focuses on the 'realistic method' developed by Alexander Kluge to counter the limited conception of reality generated by the mainstream media. Placing emphasis on a series of innovative productions developed by Kluge, Schlingensief and Haneke, this ground-breaking study explores how the experimental form of their work in film, television and theatre facilitates thinking, discussion and debate about the possibilities for cultural and political change.
