Anonimul – International Independent Film Festival

By -

 

 ‘Anonimul’ – in translation ‘Anonymous’ , is an independent film festival organized annually in Sfantul Gheorghe, Danube Delta, Romania.

Usually, the festival promotes new, bright, promising , ‘anonymous’ film directors, specialized in shorts (fiction and animation) and features (between 5-7  long length films per competition).

People around the world can apply and if selected, the organizers will invite a represent ant for each film, on the organizers costs.

There is no application tax for the movies and each winner will be selected through public vote only.

During the festival, there will be also an entertaining  program where  3,4  awarded  international films will be shown and presented .  The Romanian feature films will be shown as well as ecological/social/global projections during some days, but not included in the film competition.  

Usually, most of the film projections were shown year by year, on Danube Delta . A big screen was set up on the river , and  people could see the movies lying on  the  bank,  or sitting in the boats (or other floating objects) on water. Impressive way of watching movies indeed!

This year, the festival was moved to Bucharest and Danube Delta was replaced with Dambovita River.

Today, the movie ‘La Meraviglie’/The wonders (Directed by Alice Rohrwacher) opened the Festival.  This film is the second feature of Alice, after ‘Corpo Celeste’, which had its premiere at Cannes Film Festival in 2011 and got 4 International awards, one of them being The Debut Award of Goteborg Film Festival in 2012.
 

Waiting for the day when I will participate with my own film at this Festival.

 

Until then, please be welcomed to watch the film projections during the event (most of them are free). You can find the whole program here.

Hakkari, Turkey

      If I would not get the opportunity to see Hakkari through an Youth in Action project, I probably would have never visit ed this blessed town, settled in the middle of the mountains. Hakkari is a place situated in the South East corner of Turkey, close to the border with Iraq and Iran.   It is composed of a Kurdish and Assyrian population and has approximately 57,844 people.     The history of this place takes your breath away. It was a refuge for the persecuted Christian Assyrians who ran away   in   the mountains to protect themselves against the Timurlane occupation (Turko-Mongolian   emir) in the 14 th century. Then in the 19 th century, they   were conquered by the Kurdish people and were turned into slaves or executed. There were also many conflicts between the Kurdish population an d the O t toman (later, Turkish) control. Hakkari was considered and it is still seen as an unsafe place to live.   Still, there is no r

Bitola. It's all about history here

Thanks to Youth in Action programme again, I came across an old, historical, Macedonian city called Bitola. Situated in the S-W part of Macedonia, Bitola settles at the foot of Baba Mountain and it is crossed by the Dragon River.   The place represents an important junction between the Adriatic Sea, the Aegean Sea and Central Europe. You would never guess, but this city has an impressive history.     It was founded as Heraclea Lyncestis (City of Hercules upon the Land of the Lynx) in the middle of the 4th century BC by Philip II of Macedon and it was an important settlement from the Hellenistic period until the early Middle Ages. Then, the Romans conquered this part of Macedon in 148 BC and destroyed the political power of the city. Still, the city remained prosperous because of the Via Egnatia Roman road which passed by the city. In the early Byzantine period (4th to 6th centuries AD) Heraclea was an important episcopal centre and bishops like Bishop Eva

1. The Prisons I was so anxious about this summer school. I was thinking many times if it is a good idea to participate or not. I was afraid that I will not be able to take more information about the crimes during communism because already I knew something from Roxana (my colleague from the Historical Film Festival Summer School) and it was so painful to find out what happened in those cruel times.  Roxana:) After her story, I couldn’t sleep a couple of nights. But this it was good. Actually, it was the best preparation for the following hard information. Her introduction in the Communism regime was so helpful for me. In the first day, we went to visit the Ramnicu Sarat Prison . It was the first time in my life when I entered into a prison. This prison was no longer active. Well, this prison was built in the    period of King Charles the First ofRomania ( 1839–1914) as a small prison . In the Communism regime, it was known as the Silence Prison as e
