Cinem@acasă: visions of isolation
The European Film Festival (FFE) will take place online this year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic - although the festival itself will start on the 17th of June, hosted by the TIFF Unlimited platform, starting with the 8th of June, FFE has published a short film every day, stemming from a series of 21 films made by Romanian filmmakers. The series was coordinated and curated by Andrei Tanasescu and Anca Hrab, through the Romanian Cultural Institute, bringing together both established names such as Radu Jude, Alexandru Solomon, and Paul Negoescu, as well as filmmakers that are at the beginning of their careers, with a simple indication: to make a short film based on their own perceptions and thoughts about this period of (self-)isolation during the pandemic.
