Synopsis

To shoot: a gun or a movie camera. The military analogy is born with the beginning of cinema. Eléonore Weber's (Les Hommes Sans Gravité, IndieLisboa 2008) documentary is exclusively based upon footage recorded by French and American soldiers in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan. From the top of their helicopters, a viewfinder scans the night and watches for suspicious activity from moving heat dots. They have the power to take or keep lives. —fest
