- Radu Muntean – Lindenfeld 1994 - Romania, 1994, 8 min 30”
The village of Lindenfeld, founded by a group of ethnic Germans, was once a prosperous settlement. In 1994 there are only three people in the village, who live in isolation. All they have left is their hatred for each other and their hope in the tin God at the front of the village’s abandoned church.
- Radu Muntean – Life is Elsewhere - Romania, 1995, 12 min
Time passes slowly in a monastery where several generations of nuns live together. Although isolated, the echoes and the temptations of the madding crowd outside the convent’s walls nevertheless reach them.
- Vali Hotea – Maya - Romania , 1995, 25 min
In Sanskrit “maya” means illusion. A documentary – offering extraordinary access – about Gregorian Bivolaru and his yoga school, then at the height of its success.
- Mugur Vasiliu – Tonel and Vieru or About the Meaning of the Ballad - Romania, 1996, 19 min 30”
The memory of a tragedy of passion – a double murder that took place in a shepherd’s village 50 years ago – is preserved in the form of a ballad. The villagers recall the events and the musicians talk about the birth of this song that lacks the victim’s point of view, because the assassin is the one who commissioned them to compose this ballad.
- Valentin Suciu – Inner Courtyard - Romania, 1996, 23 min
In an apartment building in the centre of Bucharest various personal histories coexist. The neighbours know everything about each other. In his or her own way, each of them is captive within the walls that face the inner courtyard.
