Reconstruction of the Occupation

by Jan Sikl (The Czech Republic 2021)

Director Jan Šikl collects private film archives of different families and has found professionally filmed material that captures the invasion of the Warsaw Pact armies to Czechoslovakia on August 21, 1968. Nobody has ever seen this footage. Jan begins to search who is captured in the footage and where it takes place. This becomes a film about our ability to reflect the past and about a form of the memory itself.
