Italian-born director Erik Gandini portrays the televisual world that prime minister and media tycoon, Silvio Berlusconi, has created in Italy.

Gaining unique access to the most powerful media spheres, he unveils a remarkable story, born out of the scary reality of “TV-Republic” Italy and, by accident or design, “Videocracy” ends up holding a mirror to a larger world.

The film will be introduced by Dick Fontaine, Head of Documentary, National Film and Television School (NFTS).
