„Magic Moments“ mit point de vue

Sun, 25.10.2009, 13.00 h
A talk with video accompaniment on "Magic Moments" from the 30-year production history of media cooperative point de vue.

Did its primary interest and defining quality lie in its similarity with the mass medium TV or in the opportunities it provided for debate about political and aesthetic content?
