SUMMARY:Sequences: Film Screening\, Q&A
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 18\, 2010\, 4 p.m.\nHelmut Stern Auditorium\n525 South State Street\, Ann Arbor 48109 \nFree Admission\n\nPlease join American Romanian Festival Executive Director Marian Tanau and Ramona Uritescu-Lombard\, film scholar and Lecturer in the German and Comparative Literature departments at the University of Michigan\, for a discussion before the film at 7:00 p.m. and Q&A after the film. \n\nFilm Screening\nSequences\nSecvente\, 1982\, Alexandru Tatos\, 98 min\, NR\, English subtitles \nIn this interesting drama\, three sequences which could have formed separate stories are linked together to give a larger perspective on the nature of reality and film. The three episodes are joined together by one film crew at work on two different jobs. In the beginning\, the crew is introduced as they juggle their dual roles as State-supported propagandists who laud their government and society\, and as private movie-makers working on their own film. Next\, they are in a restaurant looking for suitable locations to film when the eatery’s owner\, through no fault of his own\, is induced to wax long and lugubriously on his miserable life. In the last segment\, two extras are in the background of a scene\, sitting at a table in a restaurant. It slowly becomes apparent to one of them that the man he’s sitting with tortured him more than 40 years ago at a Nazi concentration camp during World War II.
