To reverse the general course of events is to challenge the inevitable. This programme presents stories of key moments when a cycle gets broken and needs repair: breaking free from traumas, a romantic car date interrupted by the police, the source of life being altered and director’s work deregulated by his reflections on his identity and the world.

This program is a journey into the captivating world of music, revealing its power to shape our lives. Here, you will witness the creative forces behind the music, experience the struggles and triumphs of the artists. From politically charged rhythms to intimate melodies, music inspires, provokes, and unites. Let’s turn up the volume and experience the transformative power of music.

Experimental cinema, hybrid documentaries, and film essays – in Screen 9 you will discover films that play with cinematic language, blurring the boundaries of genre and form. Here, warning sirens transform into music, Hamlet is reborn in the world of Grand Theft Auto, and post-socialist Romanian commercials tell tales of socialism and capitalism.
