The Romanian Cultural Institute supported London Festival of Europe opens with a lecture by celebrated sociologist and philosopher Zygmunt Bauman. He will consider the values that form part of the European ideal, and argue that, however well or badly realised they are by actors in Europe, we must urgently uphold them. "Never before has this planet needed an adventurous Europe as much as it needs it now."
The event is accompanied by the Romanian Cultural Institute's selection of a series of experimental, documentary and narrative videos by some of the best Romanian artists, reflecting new and old attitudes and mentalities in post-communist Romania.
The screenings include: La Revolution Dans le Boudoir by Dan Mihaltianu, Dacia 1300 by Stefan Constantinescu & Julio Soto, The Trial by Mona Vatamanu & Florin Tudor, Off the Map. In Bucharest by Robert Fearns and Ioana Marinescu, Crossroad by Dan Acostioaei.
