Cold War paranoia meets VHS found-footage chaos — China's secret military mixtape from 1991.
This is a Chinese video tape released internally in 1991, which mainly introduces the military overview of the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Japan. The entire film uses the technique of found footage to collage a large number of external image materials for relevant personnel to understand relevant military knowledge.
Editing
Aggressive found-footage collage of global military imagery.
