Películas

Poppy Field
Producer
Poppy Field sigue la lucha de un joven gendarme rumano, Cristi, que intenta encontrar el equilibrio entre dos partes aparentemente opuestas de su identidad: la de un hombre que trabaja en un entorno jerárquico machista y la de un gay en el armario que intenta mantener su vida personal en secreto. Mientras su novio francés a distancia, Hadi, lo visita, Cristi es llamado para una intervención en un cine, donde un grupo ultranacionalista y homofóbico ha interrumpido la proyección de una película queer. Después de que uno de los manifestantes amenaza con sacarlo del armario, Cristi pierde el control.
The Certainty of Probabilities
Producer
1968, The Socialist Republic of Romania. Women catch up on the latest tendencies in beachwear, the young hippies of Hamburg are harshly criticized by Romanian students, while Nicolae Ceaușescu reads the famous defiance speech against the intervention of the Warsaw Pact troops in Czechoslovakia. Floating solemnly over all this is The Internationale, sung on a stadium by a crowd of pioneers dressed in white shirts and red ties. A certainty for each probability: the documentary is at the same time a history lesson and an ideological warning sign, the director’s endeavour permanently draws our attention to the functions of the propaganda film, yet without tarnishing the fascination that dwells in the core of the images, that of the figures that wave at us from a past buried in commonplaces and political parti pris.
