  • Tamás Barta – Hurry, mom’s waiting at home

    Eszter Hajdu • Hungary, Portugal • 2020 • 85′

    In 1974, Tamás Barta was at the peak of his career as the bassist of Hungarian rock band Locomotiv GT, but he decided to defect while on tour in the United States. He left his band mates and, most of all, his widow mother, Edit, waiting for him in communist Hungary. After her death, Tamás’ adopted sister Judit found 12 audio cassettes. They were the tapes he and Edit used as correspondence during the eight years Barta spent in America.

  • Transalpina – The Road of Kings

    Dumitru Budrala • Romania • 2017 • 41′

    With its breathtaking beauty, Transalpina is more than a spectacular roadway serpentining across the mountain. The age of the road connecting Transylvania with Walachia is counted in thousands of years. Throughout history, people have forgotten it more than once, but for the shepherds who have never stopped walking it with their flocks despite the borders set by transient authorities. The film invites the viewer to a multilayered journey: along a unique road associated with the names of three kings, on mysterious underground paths once walked by the Dacian’s god Zamolxis, and up to the sky, where things that happened in the times of the mythical giants gave mountain peaks and valleys the names they still carry today. The author morphs his life-time fascination with the hidden stories of the streams, glacial lakes, alpine crests, vales and mysterious caves into an exquisite piece of filmmaking, stepping beyond dates and facts to reveal the very spirit of the place.
