“Ich hatte das Glück diesen Film auf der Berlinale zu sehen auf einer gigantischen Leinwand. Es sind 8 Minuten, die schwer zu greifen sind wenn rechts eine email kommt und links das handy vibriert.
Wenn ihr könnt baut euch ein kleines #Kino und schaut euch es an.“

Sep 19-24, 2024, Bucharest International Experimental Film Festival:
INFLORESCENCE in curated program „Longing for political stability“
Sep 29, 2024 4pm, Cinema Union
„The last installment of the triangle program Longing for Stability is the program conceived by Oana Ghera for BIEFF, Gestures of Resistence. It proposes a militant approach, that focuses on short films about individual and collective protest movements and actions inspired by recent political events, the program’s optimistic corollary being that each gesture of resistance encapsulates the promise of a future revolution.“
