With the support of

The 20th century gets broken down to its essentials, in Mircea Bobînă’s history lesson CINESCOPE. Formally recalling the intellectual montage of the Soviets as well as the ironic humour of Bruce Conner, archive footage and historical moments are cut together to sequence the might and plight of modern man. Carried by narrated poetry and pointed nursery rhymes, the film reveals its titular double-entendre as both a microscopic macro-vision of modern civilization and a confirmation for the cinematic dramaturgy that fuels the mechanism of life. (Andrei Tănăsescu, BIEFF)

Director's statement:
The film is a subjective approach to the events of the twentieth century. An attempt to highlight the absurdity of human existence in light of its weaknesses. The struggle for power, xenophobia, bigotry, brainwashing, beauty turned to mutilation, a lot of major events that make us forget the simple pleasures of life, the little things that make us happy. (Andrei Bobînă)
