On Display: Peter Weiss. A Production Dossier / Zur Ansicht: Peter Weiss. Dossier zur Produktionsgeschichte

Impressed by Peter Weiss’ novel The Aesthetics of Resistance, Farocki planned to conduct a long TV interview with Weiss for the German public-broadcaster WDR. Realizing the project took longer than hoped, but on June 17 and 18, 1979, the meeting finally took place in Weiss’ studio. On Display: Peter Weiss, the result of two days’ shooting, was broadcasted on October 19, 1979.
