CineEuroConnect: A Collaborative Film Museum & Heritage Film Festival announces a series of heritage film screenings. These screenings offer audiences a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich history of cinema. Classic films are also priceless time capsules, capturing the essence of different eras, cultures and artistic movements. By exhibiting these cinematic gems, we aim to preserve and celebrate the cultural heritage of the film industry, allowing audiences to appreciate the art and storytelling techniques that have shaped the world of cinema.
Stone Wedding 1973
Directors: Dan Pita, Mircea Veroiu
Duration: 90 min
The film is an adaptation of Ion Agărbiceanu's works, set against the backdrop of the gold mines in the Apuseni Mountains at the beginning of the 20th century. It weaves two distinct narratives: one follows a determined widow struggling to save her ailing daughter (directed by Mircea Veroiu), and the other portrays two wandering singers who abduct a bride from her wedding (directed by Dan Pița). The cast boasts renowned names from Romanian cinema, including Leopoldina Bălănuță, Mircea Diaconu Radu Boruzescu, and George Calboreanu Jr.
Critically acclaimed for its simplicity and powerful storytelling, STONE WEDDING was selected for the Cannes Film Festival in the Semaine de la Critique category in 1973.
The event is part of CineEuroConnect: A Collaborative Film Museum & Heritage Film Festival, focusing on the exploration and celebration of cinema as a "Time Capsule."
