WARSAW UPRISING @ the Opening Night of 6th EKRAN TPFF
Warsaw Uprising (Powstanie Warszawskie)

Nov. 5th  6:30 PM @ The Revue Cinema

"Warsaw Uprising" is the documentary film made entirely from documentary materials. It tells the story of the Warsaw Uprising of 1944 through the eyes of US airman, escaper from the Nazi camp and two  young reporters,  witnesses  to  insurgent fighting. It uses  authentic newsreels filmed in August of  1944.  With its cutting edge colorization and audio reconstruction as well as  having ensured the cooperation of the best artists, the "Warsaw Uprising" has no comparable
projects in the World. Six hours of original newsreel footage from the Warsaw Uprising of 1944,  six months of work, a team of  militarists,  clothing and  architecture consultants,  urban planners, Warsaw experts  and historians, 1000 of colour editing hours, 1200 shots, 1440 hours of colorizing and reconstruction, 112.000  selected  frames, 648.000 minutes of frame by frame film reconstruction, 22.971.520  megabytes of data  these are only some numbers which help appreciate the enormous effort and means  put into  the project.  The result  is  an 87-minute completely  restored  colored, extremely touching film, which shows the Warsaw Uprising with unparalleled realism.
