ZAMATOVĪ TERORISTI / VELVET TERRORISTS
The first man planned a bomb attack on the speakers’ platform at a Communist Party conference, the second intended to assassinate the state president, the third blew up placards and hoardings and distributed his protest leaflets to all and sundry. The docu-fiction film ZAMATOVĪ TERORISTI / VELVET TERRORISTS portrays three rebels imprisoned for terrorist offences in Czechoslovakia in the 1980s. What became of them after release? Blending re-enactments of the deeds with interviews and archive footage, the three directors offer an often humorous view of the romantic idealists’ present-day life, which continues to be defined by the past.
