Original Videojournal Collection

Materials of the Original Videojournal collection constitute hundreds of hours of uncut videos that captured fragments of alternative culture, dissent movements and news reports about developments in Czechoslovakia in the late 1980s. Samizdat audiovisual magazine was founded in 1987 at the instigation of Václav Havel. The Original Videojournal aesthetic and style remotely resembled television news in state media. This established form of news allowed it to target a wide audience while at the same time criticising the restricted view of the official media.

原始视频日记藏品由数百小时未经剪辑的视频组成，这些视频捕捉了替代文化、异见运动以及关于20世纪80年代末捷克斯洛伐克发展新闻报道的片段。自1987年起，由瓦茨拉夫·哈维尔倡议创办的地下视听杂志《自编杂志》诞生。原始视频日记的审美和风格与官方媒体中的电视新闻有异曲同工之妙。这种既定的新闻报道形式，一方面能够吸引广泛的受众，另一方面则对官方媒体的局限视角进行了批判。
