Delicate shooting and kaleidoscopic editing. Nice characters and situations. Original pace and atmosphere.
Thierry Garrel , former director of TV Arte France
The film represents the universal story but with a very unique plot... Trough the editing, sound, framing and dialogue, the director makes a perfect aesthetic link to the object of her exploration – the phenomena of gravestone photos.
Jury’s Statement - Timishort Film Festival 2013 ( Best Romanian Film award)
see full PRESS KITT
An honest and poetic film about an experience which makes our lives meaningful. DEATH. A daring approach that combines the realism of the docu film with a surrealist imagery, on the thin line between observational documentary and cinematic essay
Doru Pop, film critic AND UNIVERSITY COORDINATOR
