Un road-movie ambientato durante le ultime settimane di rivolta contro la dittatura di Muammar al-Gheddafi. LIBYA HURRA documenta uno stato d'animo collettivo che può diventare cruciale nel tempo e nel luogo giusto. Il film non si perde in spiegazioni o nel resoconto dei fatti. In lunghi piani sequenza, tratteggia le realtà esistenziali durante una rivoluzione armata, quelle che di solito qui da noi non vediamo, neppure se il paese è al centro dell'attenzione mediatica. Alla fine del film, il cineasta entra in un palazzo che apparteneva a Gheddafi. La rivoluzione è finita, la finestra temporale si è chiusa.

DE
Ein Roadtrip durch Libyen in den letzten Wochen der Revolution gegen das Regime von Muammar al-Gaddafi. LIBYA HURRA dokumentiert eine kollektive Stimmung, die in einem engen Zeitfenster für Menschen an einem Ort bestimmend ist. Dabei verliert sich der Film nicht in Fakten und Erklärungen. In langen Plansequenzen werden Lebensrealitäten während einer bewaffneten Revolution skizziert, welche uns üblicherweise - auch aus einem Land im Fokus der medialen Berichterstattung - fast vollkommen verborgen bleiben. Am Ende von LIBYA HURRA steht der Filmemacher im ehemaligen Palast von Gaddafi. Die Revolution ist vorbei, das Zeitfenster wieder geschlossen.
