PLAY TRAILER

German (EN Subs) | Videograms of a Revolution (1992) Reconstructs the Romanian Revolution of December 1989 in Bucharest through 125 hours of television broadcasts, amateur videos, and official footage. Between Nicolae Ceaușescu’s final speech on December 21 and the televised trial and execution five days later, demonstrators seized the state television station, broadcasting continuously for 120 hours and making it the revolution’s central stage. Drawing from diverse perspectives, the film meticulously charts where, when, and why each image was made, revealing how the mobility and immediacy of the video camera transformed the documentation of history in real time.
