To mark the anniversary of the Peaceful Revolution in Germany, RE:SORB created a show for the Lichtfest in Leipzig — the annual festival of lights that commemorates the Monday demonstrations of 1989.

The studio researched and cleared historic footage and images of the events and wove them into the animation, in collaboration with the museum in the ‘Runde Ecke’, the former Stasi headquarters in Leipzig.
