Videograms of a Revolution
Introduced by Dennis Lim
Dir. Andrei Ujică and Harun Farocki. 1992, 106 mins. Using amateur video, footage shot by the state film industry, and excerpts of broadcasts from a demonstrator-controlled Bucharest TV studio in late December 1989, this chronology of the Romanian uprising that overthrew dictator Nicolae Ceausescu shows how media technology not only records but fosters historic change.
