We would like to bring to your attention a fresh and beneficial South-East European initiative, with its main headquarter in Bucharest, connecting SEE region with the world through film and visuality.

The socio-visual and cinematographic brainstorming will explore the, between and betwixt,  Campulung-Muscel town and mountain region, suspended at the intersection in between old-fashioned rural and post-industrial urban, creating an intriguing crossroad of pre- and post- communist mindsets.

The summer school activities will be centered in the Mansion Golescu, a 100 years old space with a quite complex personality, almost surreal and at the same time ideal to inspire rethinking the realities surrounding it. The field research and film development area of the summer school will be concentric to the Mansion Golescu: integrating a social tissue with a diverse heritage, visually exceptional and narratively quirky.
