Film-Essay on the Euphrates Dam(ar)
The construction of a dam on the Euphrates River is an example of a country’s economic development. Through grandly composed images, rhythmic editing, and aestheticized details, the director demonstrates his admiration for the interwar avant-garde.

It's mordantly funny and very savage.
