"Squeezangezaum" by Gianni Toti, scan from the VideoFest ‘90 program booklet.

Squeezangezaum is Gianni Toti's fourteenth "opera poetronica". His abounding creativity connects poetry, science and imagination in multiple new ways. Using sophisticated videotechnology and a vast archive of pictures, Toti unfolds the history of Russian films which he transforms by video-specific means.
