SHOT REVERSE SHOT
Synopsis
Forty years after they were created, two opposing archives finally meet. Through a brilliant shot-reverse-shot construction, this inventive documentary uncovers the strange, often ironic relationship between those who watch and those who are being watched.
Between 1985 and 1987, American journalist Edward Serotta photographed daily life in Communist Romania. The Securitate secretly photographed him in return. Forty years later, the two archives meet in a shot-reverse-shot revealing the irony of History.
