RETROSPECTIVE - THE VISUAL ARTS FOUNDATION, THE 1990s.
18 March 2023

Patricio Guzmán: A country without documentaries is like a family without a photo album.”

Dear filmmakers and cinephiles,

If you're looking for a moving image album that illustrates the first decade of transition, you don't have to look any further than ONE WORLD ROMANIA 16which offers a retrospective dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Visual Arts Foundation (FAV). In the program, you'll discover an impressive collection of documentary, experimental, and video art films that faithfully depict the astonishing, painful, and contradictory transformations that Romanian society went through in the 1990s. These will help you explore and better understand the historical period that Romanian society went through.

Let's rediscover together this unique family album, created in a space of play and games, in a confusing period of our recent history.

P.S. We cannot talk about FAV without mentioning the people who made up the core of the team: Vivi Drăgan Vasile - director and founder of FAV, Velvet Moraru - producer, Gheorghe Oprea – camera operator, film editors Dobrică Lospă and Mihai Mitici, Mariana Dincă – accountant, and, beginning with the 2000s, Dana Bunescu - technical and creative support.
