Frăția / Fraternity tells the story of the only football club in Romania that has a disabled goalkeeper and a black couch. Being more a story about the football spirit, „Fraternity” is a candid documentary about the fact that in the divided Romania of today, it is still possible for people to come together for a common passion.
A început ploaia / It Started Raining (directed by Michele Lancione) brings into discussion the housing right in a dysfunctional State that refuses to protect its most vulnerable citizens. The director combines sequences shot during the evictions in Vulturilor Street of Bucharest (2014-2016) with explanations from experts and activists involved in
supporting those evicted.
Varză, cartofi și alți demoni / Cabbage, Potatoes and Other Demons (directed by Șerban Georgescu), freshly nominated to 2017 Gopo Awards, explores the paradoxical dynamics of the farming practiced in Lungulețu village, where 1000 small farmers produce yearly much more than they can sell.
