Revolution Museum

73 minutes - RussiaUkraine 2015

Genre Documentary

Category Full-length documentary

Director Natalіya Babіnceva

An unusual look at the revolution through the eyes of artists, museum workers and curators trying to capture the fast-paced present. The revolution is changing the social and political landscape, but first and foremost, the real landscape. The center of none of the European capitals has long looked like the recent Independence Square. It simultaneously resembled a medieval carnival and futuristic fantasy. "This is a total installation", – says Maidan in the film by artist Alex Sai. Just like at a carnival, everyday objects change their purpose during the revolution. Between painted police shields and attributes of overthrown power, they suddenly become museum artifacts.

The film's characters are Alexander Reitburd, Pavel Klubnikin, Alexei Sai, Ivan Semesyuk, Alice Lozhkin and others.
