Revolution is the third film in the Civic Life series by film makers Christine Molloy and Joe Lawlor. An ambitious 10 minute single take Revolution tracks over the activities at a special fund raising event to buy books for a library. All appears calm and well until dogs die, electricity cables cross, giant books topple, mouths start to bleed and things generally go awry.

Revolution involved 91 people from Lambeth in the shooting and was filmed on location at the YMCA on Stockwell Road during a sunny afternoon in September 2004.

Revolution has just completed a successful showing at the Hayward Gallery, London, UK as part of the critically acclaimed Eyes, Lies and Illusions Exhibition. Revolution was also screened at the Curzon Cinema Soho as part of Optics:Cinema, Vision and Optical Machines - as special screening of films shown as part of the Hayward exhibiton.
