Yes But No

Music video featuring Ginta. The meaning of the song is based on the stereotype that we have to always choose between the concept of “yes” or “no”.

Romanian Diary. Muslim Diary

We risk to become irrelevant to the community and danger lurks our vanity and leads to isolation. We only listen to opinions that confirm our own. "Romanian Diary. Muslim Diary" is intended as a communication vehicle, an invitation to dialogue. How it influences our location and how much we influence the community to which we belong?  Is Culture one of the pillars of the community? How does Romania look like less touristy and less as seen on television? Directed by Carmen Lidia Vidu (Romania)

Pura Energía

They thought it was a distant future. They thought they knew disaster. But only a few of us were aware of what surely would happen... In a time when cities grew without limits, where chaos was televised live while people played God, reality was catching up to us - until the day the red dust covered it all. Making us pay for our sins, collapsing our lungs, choking our hope… 2051. Few will survive, with almost no water or food, and barely any... Energy. Directed by Francisco Garcia Mateos (Spain)
