The aim of my thesis is to illustrate how the technological revolution influenced the political transformations in Hungary during the 1980s and 1990s: the fall of communism, the period of regime change. The opinions of experts and contemporaries that I interviewed during my research (key figures that shaped the alternative media of the time) confirm that technological innovations and political events were interrelated. I demonstrate how strongly societal processes were influenced by the advent of affordable and accessible technological devices around the time of the regime change. Furthermore, I examine how the technological changes impacted the political public sphere. I introduce pioneering independent filmmakers who captured the most important moments of the regime change, with a particular focus on the group known as 'Fekete Doboz' (Black Box). Additionally, I examine whether the release of documentary material depicting protests and figures of the opposition had an impact on politics, as it made it impossible to continue denying the societal divide.
