Factory workers turned guerrilla filmmakers—revolution meets camcorder chaos in 1974 Italy.
Omsa Sud workers’ struggle to keep the factory occupied. The documentary was partially realized within a project financed by the city of Fermo, which initially included the idea of teaching video shooting techniques as part of a laboratory. Omsa Sud was shot only in one week, an unusual occurence for the Videobase group, and features as part of their methodology the "video within the video" approach.
