"The wind got up in the night and took our plans away," reads the proverb in the opening titles of Museum of the Revolution. The words are a reference to the 1961 plan to build a grand museum in Belgrade as a tribute to Socialist Yugoslavia. It was supposed to "safeguard the truth" about the Yugoslav people. But the plan never got beyond the construction of the basement. The derelict building now tells a very different story from the one envisioned by the initiators 60 years ago. In the damp, pitch-dark building live the outcasts of a society reshaped by capitalism. Museum of the Revolution focuses on a girl who earns a little cash on the street by cleaning car windows with her mother. The girl has a close friendship with an old woman who also lives in the basement. Against the background of a transforming city, the three women find refuge in each other. --Filmmaker expected to be in attendance--

Museum of the Revolution

The Museum of the Revolution in Belgrade is actually a building that remained unfinished for 60 years and 'inhabited' only by the homeless and marginalized. The director observes the precarious (but proud) daily life of a girl and her mother around the symbolic ruins of a utopia.

Museum of the Revolution Q&A

A little village in the Swiss Alps: Kiental. Lenin held a secret meeting there and it served Friedrich Dürrenmatt as inspiration for his play “The Visit”. In the fifties the mysteriously unknown Mr. Landtwing filmed there. The singer and filmmaker Christina Zurbrügg was born in Kiental and tells us with poetry and humour about memories and reality, past and present. A found footage remix.
