Videograms of a Revolution

Videogramme einer Revolution

1992 · 106 min · Documentary

Drawing on amateur recordings and broadcasts from the occupied Romanian television studio, Harun Farocki and Andrei Ujică reconstruct five days of the 1989 revolution, when cameras did not simply document power changing hands but became part of the event.

Why it’s here

Farocki and Ujică turn footage made inside Romania into a rigorous account of how the revolution was recorded, broadcast, and politically shaped in real time.
