SUMMARY:Videograms of a Revolution
DESCRIPTION: \n* Co-presented with Northwest Film Forum and Making Waves New Romanian Cinema on the occasion of  The Romanians\, 30 Years Of Cinema Revolution\, a film series coming to NWFF and other Seattle locations in 2020\, dedicated to the Romanian Revolution of 1989! ** \nVideograms of a Revolution is a compilation and distillation of footage shot throughout the latter days of 1989 in Bucharest\, Romania\, as demonstrators in opposition to the regime of Nicolae Ceaușescu began to document a revolution in real time using the period’s most immediate means of communication: Television. As a vocal resistance began forming during Ceaușescu’s final speech on December 21st\, it became clear that a tide was shifting and this moment must be seized to spread the word. So demonstrators forcibly occupied the television station and began broadcasting uninterrupted for the next 120 hours with the explicit intent on overthrowing Ceaușescu and holding him accountable for his crimes. What played out was a revolution with such immediacy\, Ceaușescu was sentenced to death by execution on Christmas Day\, broadcasts still running live for this moment. \nHarun Farocki and Andrei Ujică’s remarkable film recreates this stream of broadcasts\, but more pointedly shows the power of technology when its handed over to the people\, and that news could in fact be delivered with an immediacy we almost take for granted these days. The impact of this revolution not only had a lasting impact for demonstrators all around the world\, but arguably changed how people all around the world engage with technology as a means of immediate communication and organization. \n“We get all of the broadcast glitches\, unedited feeds\, powergrabbing chaos\, and epochal please-stand-by ellipses; as civilians literally defend the TV station with combat rifles\, unidentified counter-revolutionary snipers hole up in massive and empty high-rise buildings the dictator had built and then abandoned. The sense of exhilarating liberation and history made as we watch is consistently leavened by the weird distance\, between citizens and their own revolt\, occupied by TV cameras and monitors. By the end of the week\, and the Ceausescus’ executions\, nothing is real – or historical – until it is seen on television.” – Michael Atkinson\, The Village Voice

SUMMARY:Can We Remember What Matters? A Photography Exhibit by Gabriela Cociuba
DESCRIPTION:We are happy to inaugurate our series of community storytelling events with a photography project by Romanian American artist Gabriela Cociuba. \nAs we draw close to the 30 year anniversary of the Romanian Revolution\, we hope that Gabriela’s “recycled” photographs will trigger engaging discussions about the ways in which we fabricate our memories. \nWhat are your memories of the Romanian Revolution or the the Fall of Communism? Where were you? Do you remember following the events from abroad on TV\, radio or the written press\, or where you there\, in the streets? Please join us and share your stories with us. \nGabriela’s exhibit was part of a larger project entitled “How to Remember What Doesn’t Matter”.\nMore details here: https://www.gabrielacociuba.com/projects#/how-to-remember-what-doesnt-matter/ \nJoin us for the opening reception December 21\, 7:30pm at Solo Bar in Seattle. The exhibit will be up through January 2020.

SUMMARY:A Particular Beauty: Romanian Folk Clothing
DESCRIPTION:We are proud to sponsor Maryhill Museum of Art Exhibit: \n“When she was Romania’s crown princess (1893–1914)\, Marie of Edinburgh (later Queen Marie of Romania) began wearing peasant-inspired clothing from the country’s eastern provinces — a fashion trend long promoted by Elisabeth of Wied\, Queen of Romania\, and her court. A Particular Beauty draws from Maryhill’s collection of more than 450 items of Romanian clothing and textiles. The display will include about 20 fully dressed mannequins\, and numerous individual garments such as coats\, vests\, shirts and blouses.The exhibition will showcase a remarkable variety of Romanian embroidery techniques\, mediums\, and styles that have evolved through the influences of adjacent ethnic populations\, resident invaders\, other outsiders\, and—in recent decades–urbanization. Contextual labels and photographs will tie the objects to specific villages\, counties\, geographical regions\, and artisan workshops.” \nA Particular Beauty: Romanian Folk Clothing will be accompanied by a 32-page color publication (available in Summer 2020) as well as numerous education programs throughout the season. \nView Program  \nMajor sponsors of the exhibition are Bill and Cathy Dickson with support from the Romanian American Society (Portland) and the American Romanian Cultural Society (Seattle).  Partners include Atlianta\, Washington D.C.\, the American Romanian Cultural Society (ARCS) Seattle; the Romanian American Society (RAS) Portland; and\, the Romanian Cultural Institute (CRCI) New York. ”
