“Essay, a term from written literature: unity of science and art; unity of social and individual knowledge,” Harun Farocki wrote in a first draft of the project Erzählen. The film follows two people (played by Engström and Farocki) investigating their respective subjects: one is tracing the involvement of the German heavy industry in the rise of Nazi-Germany, the other is interested in the fate of Larissa Reissner, a young Soviet writer and revolutionary. Both of them struggle with the question of how to organize their research and find a narrative structure. Their paths cross, and the film turns into an essayistic interrogation of structuralist narratology.

A hair-raising comedy of art and compromise, THE TV SET follows an idealistic writer (Duchovny), as he tries to navigate his TV pilot down the mine-laden path from script, through production, to the madness of prime-time scheduling – all while trying to stay true to his vision. Along the way he has to juggle the agendas of a headstrong network president (Weaver), volatile young stars, a pregnant wife, and an ever-optimistic personal manager. 　　--© THINKFilm

这部作品是我给祥林嫂做的一个录音机。是我给自己的人格写的日记。也是一面镜子，映出我身边的人们和世界。故事之后故事还在继续，人们的故事都还在继续。现在自己流动到切生殖器的刀。想努力活着，可以认识更多有意思的人，一起在这个世界做一些打破规则的事。再见了妈妈，今晚我就要出发，我带着你的未来一起自由。一边回忆一边恨一边哭一边咒骂一边拥抱一边狂喜一边平静一边充满爱地蠕动奔跑生长消失，变成树，变成种子，再变成树。
