Synopsis:
- FAV - the 2nd Anniversary - Romania, 1994, 4 min
Two years after its founding, Vivi Drăgan Vasile makes an assessment of the Foundation: “An idea was born, namely that market economy should somehow also work in favour of the artists. Some outlawry, in other words.” It includes images from George Soros’ visit at FAV and a board meeting of the Foundation.
- Marilena Preda Sânc – Mindscape Dreaming Mind - Romania, 1997, 6 min
In a mixture of performance and body art, the artist uses her own face and body as a projector screen and painted background.
- Marilena Preda Sânc – About Oldness - Romania, 1995, 11 min
On the one hand, the women’s aged faces, filmed among objects collected over a lifetime; on the other hand, the power of metaphorical images: volcanoes, cemeteries, construction sites. A meditation on the act of passing.
- Gaspar Csongor – Can I Swim When I Am Wearing a Tampon? - Romania, 1996, 9 min
The hypnotic, semi-fictional diary of a young woman’s coming of age in a world which gives her no privacy.
- Geta Brătescu, Alexandru Solomon - 2 x 5 - Romania, 1993, 4 min
The artist’s hands have their own life, they threaten, caress or turn into a landscape of wrinkles and shadows. This is the third film made by Geta Brătescu and Alexandru Solomon.
- Nir Weiss, Marcel Scutaru – Scultura da Passegio - Romania, 1995, 10 min
A happening made by students from the Art Academy, inspired by one of Michelangelo Pistoletto’s sculpture-objects. The sculpture crosses the city of Bucharest and enters into dialogue with its inhabitants, against the backdrop of the 1990s.
- Neil Coltofeanu, Gaspar Csongor – Spring - Romania, 1997, 3 min
Two versions – an optimistic and a pessimistic one – of a sonnet by Ion Luca Caragiale turn into video landscapes. Which one do you prefer?
- Radu Igazsag, Alexandru Solomon – Shriek into the Eardrum - Romania, 1993, 27 min
An unconventional chronicle of the literary and artistic Romanian avant-garde. The film recreates the atmosphere of those frenzied years (1916-1947) in the spirit of the avant-garde, through a bewildering collage of fundamental texts and images.
