ABOUT THE DIRECTOR
Alecu Solomon is a Romanian Filmmaker, Cinematographer, Producer. Member of EDN (European Documentary Network).
Co-Director of the One World Romania International Human Rights Documentary Festival.
President of the One World Romania Association.
In the early 1990s, Solomon emerged as a young director of photography and he started making documentaries aside from filming feature films. Solomon was among the first Romanian film-makers who committed themselves to a then compromised genre; today, he is one of the leading political film-makers coming out of Romania and active on the international documentary scene. His recent work triggered public debates about the function of documentary film within the public sphere and contributed to re-establishing documentary film as an arena for reframing Romania's recent history.
