MY BEAUTIFUL DACIA premieres in NYC at Margaret Mead Film & Video Festival
The 2010 Margaret Mead Film & Video Festival, in partnership with the Romanian Cultural Institute in New York, is pleased to present the US East Coast premiere of Stefan Constantinescu and Julio Soto's latest documentary film, MY BEAUTIFUL DACIA (a Romania/Spain 2009 production). The film is a humorous essay on the Romanian odyssey from communism to capitalism as seen from the perspective of one of Romania's most charismatic symbols - Dacia, a simple and discreet automobile, but also a mirror of Romanian society. As the festival program notes, the films makes one realize that just because something is broken down doesn't mean it is not beloved. Alongside six other films in this year's selection, MY BEAUTIFUL DACIA is a Margaret Mead Filmmaker Award Nominee. Filmmaker Julio Soto will appear in person.
