Hot Love Cold Hearts - 2011

All Change! - 2009

1 - 4 May 2009

Home & Away - 2008

10 - 13 April 2008

The programme has developed around the theme of Home & Away, in praise of Nemescu's fresh vision of clashes between the realities and expectations of 'here' and 'there'. Mobility, longing and belonging provide the connective tissue of Home & Away; and invite a reflection about homelands and border-crossings - both geographical and aesthetic, as California Dreamin' runs counter to the intense grittiness and austerity of recent Romanian cinema.

Past Imperfect, Future Continuous - 2007

26 - 29 April 2007
