Alina Manolache

A collection of 6 films made during the lockdown period in Romania.

A short documentary in which three pairs of robots take us through their learning process, revealing the limitations of their algorithmic visions.

Filmmaker Alina Manolache was born 1990, the year after the fall and execution of Romanian dictator Ceausescu. It marked the beginning of a new, post-communist era. At the start of the film, she calls out to people who had ever been lost on the beach in the nineties to get in touch with her. This seemingly random appeal leads to her traveling around the country and having conversations with a large number of peers about their memories of the experience, and about their life now.
