VIDEOGRAMME EINER REVOLUTION (Reihe: FILM& PROTEST)

In the organizer's words:

BRD 1992, documentary film, 107 min

Director: Harun Farocki, Andreji Ujica

Language: OmeU (Romanian/German voiceover with English subtitles)

In no other socialist country did the revolution in the fall of 1989 take place as quickly and as radically as in Romania. Only nine days passed between the first public protests and the removal of dictator Nikolai Ceaucescu (including his trial and death sentence). Television reported almost without a break - and constantly live, history in real time. But whose truth do the images tell? Harun Farocki and Andrei Ujica combine the TV footage with amateur recordings to create a critical essay that questions our viewing habits and reflects on the relationship between film and history.

Followed by a discussion with Dr. Stephan Krause (GWZO Leipzig)

ENG: The Romanian revolution in the fall of 1989 was swift and radical - only nine days passed between the first public protests and the dismissal and trial of dictator Nikolai Ceaucescu. Television reported almost without a break - permanently live, history in real time. But whose truth do the images tell? Harun Farocki and Andrei Ujica combine TV footage with amateur recordings to create a critical essay that reflects on the relationship between film and history.
