Tuesday 3 until Friday 6 September Foam & De Balie will be presenting a special series of films against the background of\u00a0Infidel<\/em>, an exhibition of works by Tim Hetherington (1970-2011, UK). Hetherington lost his life in tragic circumstances on 20 April 2011 while working in Libya. His interest was in the mutual bonds between soldiers in times of war. “It was all about the men. I didn’t want to make out that this […] was about the war in Afghanistan itself. It was a conscious decision, a response to the experience of the soldier. It is about brotherhood.” (Tim Hetherington)<\/p>\n

The four films\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>
\nWhich Way Is the Front Line From Here<\/em>? The Life and Times of Tim Hetherington<\/em>\u00a0tells the story of the life and the photographic vision of Tim Hetherington himself. In\u00a0Full Battle Rattle<\/em>\u00a0we see how American soldiers prepare themselves for war in training camps in the US. In\u00a0De Uitverkorenen<\/em>\u00a0(The Chosen), documentary-maker Geertjan Lassche gives us an insight into relationships within the Marine Corps. In\u00a0Restrepo<\/em>\u00a0we follow a platoon of American soldiers during their work in Afghanistan’s Korengal Valley. This film by Tim Hetherington and Sebastian Junger won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival in 2010 and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 2011.<\/p>\n

Each film showing will begin with a brief introduction by a specialist guest speaker. The series has been organised by Foam & De Balie in collaboration with film programmer Christian Pazzaglia.<\/p>\n

\nFilm:<\/strong>\u00a0Which Way Is the Front Line From Here<\/em>?<\/em>\u00a0The Life and Times of Tim Hetherington<\/em>is a portrait of Tim Hetherington created by Director Sebastian Junger. Junger previously co-directed the Oscar-nominated film\u00a0Restrepo<\/em>\u00a0with Hetherington. In the documentary Junger traces Hetherington’s work in a number of war zones and shows how he transcended the boundaries of conflict photography. Junger combines images of Hetherington at work with moving interviews with his family, friends and colleagues, providing a superb insight into his friend’s working methods.
