Like Father, Like Son

The story of a small-town football star, who defies society, morals and his God and gets into so much trouble that he is expelled from school. Told in flashbacks, usually in confession to the priest, Chris sets the tone early in the opening scene where he screams oaths before the altar and smashes a religious statue in a blind rage. Whether this is before or after a 14-year-old sexpot, Joan Meyers, corners him in the church choir-loft or when the parents of a pleasure-seeking rich girl, Tury by name, catch him in bed with her.

Go

Go is the axis of FILMBLOCK I: the precise aleatoric narration. Chance and the will to form are perfectly balanced out, everything is change. The elements are further reduced in Go: the legs of a man and woman, moving closer and farther away, still, this all reproduced as a negative, with an atonal aggression on the soundtrack – one could see it as the story of an unsettled relationship. Adrian for his part might be dissatisfied with the fact that people almost compulsively would interpret it in this way, but if he didn´t want that to happen then he should have used more abstract material.

Lupeni 29

Based on true events. In the Romanian town of Lupeni August 5, 1929, driven to despair by hard labor conditions miners under the leadership of Communists organized a strike. The miners demanded higher wages and an eight-hour workday. They opposed the government's attempts to shift the entire burden of the economic crisis onto the workers' shoulders. The government, concerned about the scale of the strike and the workers' determination not to give in to their demands, ordered troops to shoot at unarmed people. On August 7, the strike was brutally suppressed. Many workers were killed. But these events have forever gone down in the history of the Romanian labor movement as an example of solidarity, heroism and invincibility of the people.
