Nicolae & Elena

1991 · 7 min

A brief, unsettling collage that blurs real footage and invention, leaving you unsure what you actually witnessed.

Overview
The world managed to testify the execution of Romanian leader Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife, Elena, on Christmas day after a turmoil of events. At the same time, some viewers doubted the veracity of such actual killings. This short film challenges the notion of reality while adding some fiction to those events.
