VIDEOGRAMS OF A REVOLUTION - Andrei Ujică

In this episode, Film Forum Presents a Q&A with Romanian filmmaker Andrei Ujicǎ from November 15, 2019, following a screening of his 1992 film VIDEOGRAMS OF A REVOLUTION. The movie, co-directed by Harun Farocki, uses amateur video and footage from both the Romanian state-controlled film industry and a demonstrator-controlled TV station to capture the revolution that swept dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu from power. The screening and Q&A, moderated by curator David Schwartz, marked the opening of the repertory series THE ROMANIANS: 30 years of Cinema Revolution, the most expansive survey of Romanian cinema presented in the U.S. to date. VIDEOGRAMS OF A REVOLUTION will be available for home rental in our Virtual Cinema beginning this Friday, May 29th, at www.filmforum.org. Another terrific Romanian film, Cristi Puiu’s STUFF AND DOUGH, will become available on Friday, June 5th. All rental fees support Film Forum. Special thanks to the Making Waves Film festival and Cinema Projects for making this episode possible. Photo by Elmar Lemes
