FAMILY SNAPSHOTS

Radu Igazság
Romania, 1983
7 min.

Time passes by quickly for a young, small family: soon it will no longer be that small, the children grow up, the parents get older, and this reality in constant motion, erased and diffused, sometimes stops itself in front of the camera.

Radu Igazság puts on screen an old theoretical problem — the photographic consciousness of painting, the pictorial consciousness of photography — and then one other, affective one that has been around from time immemorial: saving your loved ones from death, through images, at least. Inspired by the new realisms of the sixties and seventies, the filmmaker transforms theory into the background for an emotional and well-known story: children grow up, parents grow old. So well-known is this story that it no longer needs to be put into words, but simply shown, because every family photo itself is a repetition of this story. (Călin Boto)

Visual Consciousness: Romanian Experimental Films Retrospective

All films →

THE SUN AND ITS DOUBLE

Mona Vătămanu, Florin Tudor | Duration 5 min.

Up in the sky, the sun, and another sun, the other’s double. A simple superimposition invokes with all its strength the imaginary and poetics of anticipation, raising, at the same time, the problem of the double. What does the supreme singular represent for our culture of mass reproduction?

TO BE

Petros Minopetros | Duration 6 min.

A bunch of young people, more or less hippies, waste time at the cinema with a dull film. On-screen, a man lies on the railway and awaits his end. But at some point the screen and reality become the same.

RECONSTRUCTION IN LANDSCAPE

Wanda Mihuleac | Duration 7 min.

A landscape is a landscape is a landscape. But in her view of the ambiguity of reality, Wanda Mihuleac composes an infinite landscape of reflections and lights.

METROPOÈME

Sergiu Huzum | Duration 33 min.

He and she meet by chance on the Parisian metro. They are, were, or will be – or not – together in this world without time but with infinite space of metropoems.
