About The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (film) in brief

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised is a 2003 Irish documentary film. It focuses on events in Venezuela leading up to and during the April 2002 coup d’état attempt, which saw President Hugo Chávez removed from office for two days. The film is variously cited as an accurate portrayal or a misrepresentation of the events of April 2002. It is regularly shown on Venezuelan television, and in the capital it is often broadcast during \”contentious political conjunctures\”. The film has led to disputes over its neutrality and accuracy; particular attention is paid to its framing of the violence of 11–13 April, the filmmakers’ editing of the timeline, and the alleged omission of incidents and personnel. It was positively received by mainstream film critics and won several awards. It has been shown on television in Europe and Venezuela in 2003, and secured a limited theatrical release on the art house circuit. Independent activists held unofficial screenings, and Venezuelan government officials encouraged its circulation to build support for Chá Chavez’s administration. The filmmakers intended to make a fly-on-the-wall biography of the president. They shot more than 200 hours of material; editing focused on identifying footage that would make the film entertaining and drive the plot. They spent seven months filming in Venezuela, following Cháavez and his staff and interviewing ordinary citizens. The movie was first shown on TV in 2003 and has since appeared at film festivals and on film festivals in Europe, Venezuela and the U.S.

It also appeared on film festival screens in the UK and Australia. The director of the film, Kim Bartley, is now a member of the board of directors of the Irish National Film and TV Company (INTV), where he works as a producer and director of documentaries. He is also the co-founder of a film production company, which has produced a number of award-winning films, including a documentary about the 1999 Vargas mudslides, and a feature-length film about the 1998 Falklands War. He has also worked as the director of a television production company in Ireland, producing a series of documentary films about the Falklands conflict and the aftermath of the Second World War. His work has also been featured on the BBC, Channel 4, Channel 5, and Channel 4. He was the founder of a company that produces documentary series on Venezuela’s political and economic history. He also co-founded a film company in the 1990s, producing films about Venezuela’s transition from dictatorship to democracy. The company is now based in Dublin, Ireland, and has offices in London, Paris, Madrid, and New York. He currently lives in Venezuela with his wife and two children. He lives in a luxury villa in the city of Caracas, Venezuela’s capital, Caracas. The couple have a son, a daughter and a son-in-law, who lives in Bogota, Colombia. The pair have a daughter, a son and a step-son, both of whom live in the United States.
