With his old fashioned camera, the videographer Mr. Zagor (75 years) is documenting the last four years of his life, filming his loneliness and sickness. He shares the fears of his neighbors of being evicted from three different locations where he lived in precarious conditions. A poetic statement and an empowering cinematic document, ‘Zagor’s Death’ gives voice to the disenfranchised people that do not fit with the new dynamic image of big and expensive cities, such as Cluj-Napoca, Romania.

Adi Dohotaru
Adi Dohotaru is a debutant director from Cluj, Romania. He is a practitioner of Participatory Action Research methodology in his work and uses a Performative Anthropology technique that empowers his collaborators. He writes laws, poetry, does civic and environmental research. He is more of a character than a director from a utopian blueprint where divisions of labour disappear and art melts into life... the old failed endeavors of the avant-gardes.
