The Look of Silence is a 2014 documentary directed by Joshua Oppenheimer that serves as a companion piece to his 2012 film The Act of Killing, examining the Indonesian mass killings of 1965 and 1966 from the perspective of survivors rather than perpetrators. It follows an optometrist, Adi Rukun, as he confronts men responsible for his brother's murder during that period, using footage originally gathered for the earlier film. The documentary won the Grand Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival, received an Academy Award nomination for Best Documentary Feature, and went on to win more than seventy international awards, drawing sustained attention to a period of state violence that had gone largely unaddressed in Indonesia's own public memory.
