A documentary on Baykam, directed by American filmmaker Stefan R. Svetiev. This is the short 57 minutes version of the original 110 minutes, in both English and Turkish languages. Svetiev spent two years of research on 'This Has Been Done Before,' and went "through more than 500 hours of 8mm, 16mm films and videos." The final product consists of an interesting blend of images from Baykam's artistic, political and personal life (period between 1959-1999) as well as interviews with critics, friends and family of the artist.
