30 years after the fall of Communism, leading historian and political scientist Jacques Rupnik and a multi-award winning documentary film director Tom Roberts re-visit their Channel 4 revolutionary documentary series (1988) which revealed the impact of 40 years of Communist rule on the nations of the ‘Other Europe’.
Written and narrated by Jacques Rupnik, this programme examines power, ideology, resistance, art and the traumas of the totalitarian experiment using interviews with leading oppositionists and extracts of their work. Reminiscing what was it like for a Western crew to film in Communist countries on the brink of collapse, meeting filmmakers Andrzej Wajda, Jiri Menzel, writers Vaclav Havel, Josef Skvorecky, and young Viktor Orban, the panelists will discuss the notion of the ‘Other Europe’ now after the changes of 1989 and in the current political climate.
