ALIYAH DADA<br />
Director: Oana Giurgiu<br />
Romanian / 2014 / 116 min / English<br />
In Israel, the Jewish population coming from Romania became the country’s fourth<br />
largest group. They always stayed in the shadow, sometimes hiding their origins,<br />
even though important personalities emerged from that community, and they have<br />
greatly contributed to the progress of their new country. The documentary follows 130<br />
years of immigration of Romanian Jews towards the Holy Land in a light and colorful<br />
depiction of history through human stories and collages. The film is a tribute to the<br />
poet Tristan Tzara – born in the same Romanian small town from where the first Jews<br />
immigrated to Palestine in 1882.<br />
Aliyah DaDa is one of the most pleasant and refreshing surprises of the contemporary<br />
Romanian cinema. Film Magazine, UCIN<br />

MEDAL OF HONOR<br />
Director: Calin Peter Netzer<br />
Romania / 2009 / 104 min / Romanian w/English sub-titles<br />
75 year-old, Ion endures the silence of his wife and the indifference of his son, who<br />
is living in Canada and resents his father for preventing him to leave the country before<br />
the ‘89 Revolution, by denouncing him to the secret police. One day, Ion has the<br />
surprise to receive a medal of honor from the Ministry of Defense for some 'heroic'<br />
actions back in WW2, times he barely remembers. The medal forces Ion to reconsider<br />
his whole life. Maybe he wasn't all the time a loser. Maybe his life has a meaning.<br />
Maybe he means something to his family.<br />
Medal of Honor is a happy hybrid of a festival type of movie and one that is enjoyed<br />
by all audiences. It could be labeled as a dark comedy... Revistaclipa.com<br />
