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.

Secvențe, 1982 

Director: Alexandru Tatos

Duration: 103 min 

The film consists of three independent episodes: "The Phone," "Inspection," and "Four Palms," linked by the presence of the film crew and the specific atmosphere of the work involved in making a movie. Both on and off the film set, the lives of the production team intersect with those of the characters in the stories, highlighting similarities and discrepancies at the same time.

The loneliness of the young man in the first episode is mirrored in the isolation of the director. The marital drama of the restaurant manager in the second episode evokes a blend of amused compassion and evident condescension within the team. In the end, the confrontation between two extras, former adversaries in a revolutionary historical moment, takes on an unexpected tragic intensity.

Alexandru Tatos's most personal film is also the most significant in his career.

The screening is part of CineEuroConnect: A Collaborative Film Museum & Heritage Film Festival. The project is produced by Mockra Productions, and co-produced with ABI Foundation.

The project is part of the National Cultural Programme Timisoara – European Capital of Culture in 2023 and is funded by the OverBorder Culture+ programme, run by The Centre for Culture and Arts from Timis County, with funds allocated from the state budget through the Ministry of Culture.
