In conversation with Eitan Efrat and Sirah Foighel Brutmann

Working with film, assembling pieces, sometimes reflecting on others or the traces they leave: Their work, say artists Sirah Foighel Brutmann and Eitan Efrat, often starts with the idea of something that is missing, a person, a material, a story – not trying to fill that gap, but reflecting on it. We follow them and their process of filmmaking, talking about how they start and proceed together, about family, power relations, politics and poetics of the moving image, and the aggression within the cut.
