Mathias, Mathias
„King Matthias died in Vienna around the end of October in 1490. He was poisoned. One evening he ate some figs. He was already very ill during the night, and in the morning... he was dead." A 13-minute animation documentary about the residents of Kolozsvár: how much do they know about the famous sovereign, King Matthias, who was born in their city? „And the only other thing I can say about him is that there is a statue of King Matthias sitting on a horse here. That's it. What else is there to say?"

This Could Not Happen to Me!
An experimental documentary presenting interviews with 7 girls from Romania who were sold and sexually exploited, in Romania and abroad, but finally managed to escape.

Draculatura
The film is a 26-minute animated documentary about what the people of Dracula’s homeland know about this Hollywood created myth which became global and in which they don’t even believe? We also want to show how the Transylvanian people feel about exploring Dracula’s myth by the Dracula tourist tours. This inevitably leads to a mix of historical truths and imaginary facts which also gives us the opportunity to reflect in an ironic way on the present transition of the eastern European nations into the economic market society.
