The 5 Obstructions

Given the nature of the project that resulted from Shirin Neshat's visit, this seems a good place to start: A screening of 'The Five Obstructions.'


From wikipedia:
The premise is that Lars Von Trier has created a challenge for his friend and mentor, Jørgen Leth, another filmmaker. Von Trier's favourite film is Leth's The Perfect Human (1967). Von Trier gives Leth the task of remaking The Perfect Human five times, each time with a different 'obstruction' (or obstacle) given by Von Trier.
