(Threnos)

Content: A compilation film of historical footage of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and its aftermath. The composition of this "lament" is based on historical film footage and photographs, further processed using special effects, which document the extent of the destruction caused by the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in August 1945. This anti-war film, a documentary of atomic death without commentary, is given a character that is not only mournful but also accusatory by Penderecki's music "Threnos" with its provocative, even disturbing soundscape.
