We are also very proud to host a screening of the award-winning documentary The Act of Killing (dir. Joshua Oppenheimer, 2012), a film that raises important questions about the nature of murder, taking its starting point in the mass killings in Indonesia during the mid-1960s. This is the first screening of the film in Malmö, and it will be followed by a Q&A session with producer Signe Byrge Søresen.

We hope that you find the program to be as exciting as we do, and we look forward to seeing you in mid-September!
