DocNomads film selected to Cork, Ireland
Ana Vîjdea’s Blue will be presented in the International Shorts competitive section at 69th Cork International Film Festival held from 7 to 17 November in Ireland.
By Ana Vîjdea (Romania) • 21’ • 2024
Synopsis:
Rodica (40) and her children, Maria (14) and Patrick (18), are Romanian expats living in Belgium. Their lives centre on finding each other’s coordinates in order to live a balanced family life. Through a gentle, minimalist approach, the camera is nearby the protagonists, when they are alone, when they are together, focusing on their attempts to communicate with each other, on their silences, on the weight of their bodies. Blue is a film about love, fear, anxiety, and the emotions that emerge at their intersection.
