"Videograms of a Revolution"
1992
Directed by Harun-Farocki/Andrei Ujica

History takes place before your eyes in Harun Farocki and Andrei Ujica's fascinating film covering the 1989 fall of the Ceaucescu regime in Romania. A radical, media-based chronology that condenses 125 hours of footage, Videograms of a Revolution carefully mediates perspective as it presents a picture of political turmoil as revealing and chilling as Eisenstein's October. A recorded spectacle of dramatic, operatic and grotesque character. German with English subtitles. 107 minutes.
