Demonstration

Victor Kossakovsky Rusland, Spanje 2013 70 min.

On March 29, 2012 there was a massive protest in Barcelona against the economic plans of the government. Shops and offices shut their doors as a precaution. Russian director Victor Kossakovsky got 32 students together and went outside to film the crowd, each person from a different perspective and according to the instructions of the director. The result is a visual choreography in which footage of demonstrators, police officers, firefighters and ambulances alternates. A fascinating film set to Leon Minkus' Don Quixote , which was staged at the Opera that same evening.
