Director
Eva Pervolovici took part at the East European Forum, a programme organized by the Institute of Documentary Film in Prague from March 6 to March 12, 2017, where she presented the film
Delta București / Bucharest Delta.
East European Forum is the region's largest meeting event of Central and Eastern European dedicated to European and North American documentary filmmakers and professionals. Here directors and producers present their projects for co-production, pre-sale, future distribution and other forms of financial support and cooperation.
The East European Forum is preceded by a 5-day workshop aimed at training the participants for the public pitching session.
Bucharest Delta is a film about the former Văcărești Monastery, turned into a prison in the 20th century. Eva Pervolovici on the film: “Making this documentary requires not only plunging back into my memories, but going even further back, before my birth, to seek out the history of the place. The trigger is Lena Constante's tapestry, sent to me in Paris by my mother. Lena was a political prisoner. Trying to learn more about the years she spent in the Văcărești prison, I found out that a great number of women gave birth in between the prison's walls. Today, Roma children are born in that same geographical place, between the walls surrounding the lake under similar conditions to those of the political prisoners back in the 60s.”
