Revision
The modern scene gathering
Revision became the demo scene's premier event after succeeding Breakpoint, maintaining Germany's position as the scene's spiritual home.
Overview
When Breakpoint ended in 2010, the scene needed a successor. Revision filled that role, launching in 2011 at Saarbrücken and maintaining the tradition of Germany’s Easter demo party. Today it’s considered the scene’s most important annual gathering—where new productions premiere and old friendships renew.
