Synopsis

In *As You See*, Farocki investigates overlooked or ignored moments and facts in the history of technology, examining the complex relationship between technologies developed for civilian use and those intended for military purposes. The film, for example, details how in the 1970s workers at the British arms factory Lucas Aerospace sought to create socially beneficial products to replace the company's military production. Rather than presenting a linear argument, the essay-film juxtaposes a range of disparate images, weaving them into a mosaic-like structure that allows viewers to draw their own connections between the images and between the images and the accompanying commentary.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
