Timebox
Nora Agapis preisgekrönter Dokumentarfilm ist eine Liebeserklärung der Filmemacherin an ihren Vater, Ioan-Matei, der selbst sein Leben lang als Filmer und Fotograf das gesellschaftliche und politische Geschehen in Rumänien dokumentiert hat. Wir erhalten einen intimen Einblick in seine Wohnräume, in denen er seit Jahrzehnten in Einklang mit unüberschaubar vielen Objekten, Filmnegativen und Fotografien lebt. Seine Sammlung repräsentiert nicht nur die Erinnerung an das Leben eines Einzelnen, sondern spiegelt das kollektive Gedächtnis eines ganzen Landes wider. Die Harmonie trübt sich, als er von einer Räumungsklage bedroht wird. (Lotte Schreiber)
Professor Ioan-Matei Agapi, an 80-year-old photographer and cameraman from Iași, Romania, owns a unique collection of 16mm films and photographs documenting almost fifty years of the city’s history. His daughter, also a filmmaker, has decided to make a film about her father's archives. In the surroundings of his old apartment, he reminisces about the past until one day, Ioan is informed that he must leave the apartment where he has spent the past 40 years. Ioan's work suddenly transforms into a burden, and the film changes into drama which reveals old conflicts within the family. (Jihlava International Documentary Film Festival)
