The Draughtsmen Clash
Balufu Bakupa - Kanyinda | France, Gabon | 1997 | 40 min | Fiction | B&W | 35mm

This wicked little political satire could easily apply to any number of dictators, but points to a certain Mobutu Seso Seko.

Human Remains
Jay Rosenblatt | USA, Denmark | 1998 | 30 min. | Documentary | B&W | Betacam

Like an archaeologist, the filmmaker, who had a career as a psychotherapist in his earlier years, is digging through the remains of five world-famous dictators: Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Franco and Mao Tse Tung.

An Ordinary President
Yuri Khashchevatsky | Belarus | 1996 | 56 min | Documentary | Colour | Betacam

In this daring political satire from Belarus, black humor exposes the shape of totalitarianism in the Presidency of Alexander Lukaschenko, admirer of Hitler.
