Homo capitalocens on the Green Belt

Directed by: Adrian Dohotaru, Andrei Lazar
 
Category: Documentary

Year & Country: 2025, Romania

Duration: 7 min
 
Synopsis: In „Homo capitalocens on the Green Belt”, an 7-minute hybrid short film directed by Adi Dohotaru and Andrei Lazăr, we explore the impact of chaotic urban expansion on the nature surrounding Cluj, through the lens of a new species: Homo capitalocens. This character, a mutation of Homo sapiens adapted to the Capitalocene, defines progress through capital accumulation and the transformation of nature into profit. They build "green" homes in forests, highways near lakes, and compensate for destruction with zoos or protected areas, believing they can reconcile development with ecology. Yet, as nature is replaced by concrete, animals lose their habitats, and children grow up confusing riverbanks with shopping malls. The film, through evocative imagery and incisive commentary narrated by the voice of the Teleencyclopedia, Carmen Movileanu, exposes the hypocrisy of a system that turns guilt into PR, leaving behind a fragmented landscape and a world where "green" is just an illusion.

Hollowgram

Directed by: Laura Iancu
 
Category: Documentary

Year & Country: 2025, Romania, United States


Duration: 7 min
 
Synopsis: Hollowgram conjures varicolored clusters of swirling images and sounds from places real and imagined as if looking through a flip book in a dream. Narratively the film pilots the tension between the desire to share memories and possibilities with another and the failure of the attempt. Conceptually layered over, a defiant authorial selfhood responds to the outside interrogations that punch in, “Who do you think you are?”.
