Secretly filmed footage of the suppression of the Prague Spring: hidden in archives for decades and screened 22 years later to the beat of Tchaikovsky.
No images of value but “confused material.” For decades, footage secretly filmed in August 1968 in Prague was hidden in archives under this label. Evald Schorm recovered the illegal material and composed it to the beat of Tchaikovsky recordings, in keeping with its expressive nature. The film could finally be publicly shown in 1990.
