Program Note

Irradiated is a new film of director Panh, who has recorded the history of atrocious violence, especially the memory of massacres through his previous works such as S21: The Khmer Rouge Death Machine (2003) and The Missing Picture (2013). In this piece, the director captures the spread of evil, as radioactivity spreads, utilizing various types of footage and performance images. While the tragic moments of modern history including wars, the atomic bombing, the massacre of civilians, and fascism constantly appear on screen, the low-pitched narration mourns the deceased and worries about the future of generations to come.
