Reconstruction: Anti-NATO Days 2008. 56 min, 2009.
Video by Joanne Richardson and Nadia Len

Reconstruction is a Brechtian documentary about the anti-NATO events in Bucharest during April 2008 and their brutal repression by the police, the Romanian government and the mass media. The reconstruction was filmed over a four day workshop, during which the 10 protagonists were simultaneously actors, audience and directors. The workshop constiuted a process of collectively re-writing history as participants discussed their memories and wrote the script together. In the end there was no unique reconstruction - the same moment of history is re-told 3 times through different perspectives: the 'objective,' subjective and collective. [ description and stills ]
