GI, your helicopters fall from the sky like broken birds
GI, your helicopters fall from the sky like broken birds examines the visual culture of war games and the ideological ease with which conflict is converted into spectacle. With a documentary inflection, the film isolates the recurrent devices of the military videogame and turns them into objects of analysis. Its central concern is distance. Interfaces, crosshairs, surveillance views, and elevated perspectives reorganise destruction into something clean, legible, and remote. Romanello, Madrussa, and Mennella make visible the visual regime through which war is formatted in advance for command, abstraction, and consumption.
