Prime Time in the Camps

The Balkans • 27m

Directed by Chris Marker • Documentary • 1993 • 28 minutes

In Roska Camp in Slovenia, Bosnian refugees, deprived of their belongings, decide with the technical help of an N.G.O. to create a way to share information. They decide to make a television program, edited with equipment to make it look like actual TV — with anchorpersons, jingles, and pirating of shows that talk about them.
