National Competition 2

NUMB NUMBER

Number. Number. Numbers, graphs. Or how we learned to simulate feelings, until we can hardly tell when we don't. Written in the style of a bad commercial, Numb-Number covers 12 years from the life of a fictional character faced with a hard question: what would you give up for an unimaginable cryptofortune?

HISTORY

Raluca Popa | Duration 11 min.

Seasons change over Teufelsberg (The Devil's Mountain) and over the ruins of war, buried underneath vegetation. New trees grow, a hawk flies past, a fire looms on the horizon.

HEAVY METALS

Mihai Ghiță | Duration 8 min.

A sunny day on the Black Sea shore. Something unsettling is floating in the air.

FLYING SHEEP

Alexandra Gulea | Duration 24 min.

Without a territory and a written language, the Aromanians were banished from history and are in constant wandering. They march with the herds, having as their only certainty their own identity, an oral culture in an archaic dialect that the filmmaker spoke in her early childhood with her grandparents.

A FLAT IS BORN

Cristina Iliescu | Duration 15 min.

People and fragments of interfaces, buildings and corporate logos merge into an amalgam being built across Bucharest. Over the city's spaces is superimposed a look that calls to mind reminiscences of Hollywood technicolor backgrounds.
