Few know what happened, in fact, on August 23, 1944, and who the main actors of the change in Romania were. Words like "coup", "war" and "communists" are used often in the same sentence, without knowing anything about the courage a king, nor 23, had when it was across Hitler's plan.

“In line with my permanent interest for discovering any falsification of Romania's contemporary history, I considered that bringing into focus the true biography of Ana Pauker is more than necessary. The publishing of American historian Robert Levy's exceptional book, “Ana Pauker: The rise and fall of a Jewish communist” gave me the idea of this documentary and helped me, directly and indirectly, in making it.” Radu Gabrea

Cannes Film Festival 2009 – Un Certain Regard Award Nomination
"Tales from the Golden Age" is an unconventional personal history of the late communist period in Romania, told through its urban myths from the perspective of ordinary people. Comic, bizarre, surprising, these myths drew on the often surreal events of everyday life under the communist regime. Humor is what kept Romanians alive, and "Tales from the Golden Age" aims to re-capture that mood, portraying the survival of a nation having to face every day the twisted logic of a dictatorship. www.talesfromthegoldenage.co.uk

L’action se déroule à la fin de la période communiste en Roumanie.

“In line with my permanent interest for discovering any falsification of Romania's contemporary history, I considered that bringing into focus the true biography of Ana Pauker is more than necessary. The publishing of American historian Robert Levy's exceptional book, “Ana Pauker: The rise and fall of a Jewish communist” gave me the idea of this documentary and helped me, directly and indirectly, in making it.” Radu Gabrea

Cannes Film Festival 2009 – Un Certain Regard Award Nomination
"Tales from the Golden Age" is an unconventional personal history of the late communist period in Romania, told through its urban myths from the perspective of ordinary people. Comic, bizarre, surprising, these myths drew on the often surreal events of everyday life under the communist regime. Humor is what kept Romanians alive, and "Tales from the Golden Age" aims to re-capture that mood, portraying the survival of a nation having to face every day the twisted logic of a dictatorship. www.talesfromthegoldenage.co.uk

L’action se déroule à la fin de la période communiste en Roumanie.

The film is a well-documented history of Jews in Romania. 133 years ago, the small community of Moineşti departed to the Holy Land, to establish one of the first Hebrew settlements in Palestine.

The film is cut in a Dadaist visual style, as a tribute to the creators, Marcel Janco and Tristan Tzara, two Jews from Romania. http://aliyahdada.com

He complied unwillingly and his reluctance cost him dearly: they declared him dead, while he had to leave France, giving up his identity, his family, his whole life. He thought he had lost everything, he has recently found there is even more to lose. 'This will not happen', says Mr. X to himself while driving across a country that is no longer his, in search for a way out of the maze that he entered thirty years ago.

KEVIN CORBEIL
Natif de l'Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Kevin n'a pas la langue dans sa poche. Né le 5 octobre 1989, celui-ci peut dire qu'avec seulement 20 ans d'existence, il a déjà beaucoup d'expériences dans son bagage. Dynamique, souriant, impliqué, ce sont les trois mots pour décrire le comportement de Kevin au sein d'un projet. Voulant toujours être le centre de l'attention et divertir les gens, Kevin affectionne les arts de la scène depuis son tout jeune âge. Pianiste depuis déjà 13 ans, ce jeune Abitibien a charmé le public par son hommage rendu au célèbre auteur-compositeur-interprète Richard Desjardins lors de la remise de son doctorat honorifique par tous les recteurs du réseau des Universités du Québec en février 2004. C'est à partir de là que tout s'est enchaîné avec un effet bombe. En plus d'avoir gagné à maintes reprises les médailles d'or ou argent dans les concours de musique de la région, Kevin est un improvisateur, comédien et animateur de spectacle. Avant de terminer son 5e secondaire, soit l'hiver 2007, il s'est donné tout un défi, soit de créer, organiser et animer un talent-show à Rouyn-Noranda pour encourager la relève et remettre tous les dons à la COSAJAT, une coopérative qui aide monétairement les jeunes pour les camps d'été. Avec l'aide de 3 de ses amis, Kevin a réussi à remplir complètement une salle de 200 personnes et à encore une fois épater la galerie. Voulant prendre la voie de l'éducation collégiale et universitaire, Kevin se voit déchiré entre les arts et les sciences. Ayant d'excellentes aptitudes académiques, Kevin se lance au CEGEP de l'Abitibi-Témiscamingue en Sciences de la Nature, Profil Sciences de la Santé. Son explication à lui: " Malgré mon côté artistique, ce diplôme peut m'ouvrir toutes les portes à l'Université! ". Toutefois, s'arrachant à performer au collège, Kevin laisse de côté la scène. Après seulement un an d'étude, il a besoin de défis et se lance dans la célèbre télé-réalité Loft Story. Une fois de plus, il a su plaire le public québécois et a remporté le second prix de 75 000$ de cette 5e édition. Par la suite, Kevin a effectué une tournée promotionnelle dans plusieurs villes du Québec pour rencontrer les fans, accorder des entrevues dans les journaux et à la radio et animer dans plusieurs bars. Le printemps 2009, il reçoit une offre par radio NRJ de commenter la 6e édition de Loft Story avec son ami, Phil Denis, qui est animateur radio à Rouyn-Noranda. Suite à cela, voulant laisse tomber le nuage, Kevin entreprend la dernière année de sciences de son CEGEP et déménage à Montréal le printemps 2010. Accepté à l'école Pro-Média, il suivra une formation intensive en radio et télévision cet automne. On peut dire que ce jeune homme, qui est également un grand voyageur, a un bel avenir devant lui.
Pendant le festival, les artistes de l’atelier d’arts anciens roumains VALUARDA feront des démonstrations sur place.
La charcuterie BALKANI, le restaurant LA MAISON RUSTIK et le café UNIQUE auront en vente des produits spécifiques roumains.

Vladimir Radian is a stage and film performer, active in theatre, the movie industry, TV and radio. On stage, he performed main roles in numerous musicals, operas and straight plays from classical Greek to Shakespearean to modern.

Growing up exposed to many different cultures, Vladimir has developed a special interest in the vibrant treasures of folk and ethnic expression. For his beloved adoptive country, Canada, he was recently honoured to have his “Maple Leaf Forever” lyrics performed by Michael Bublé at the closing of the 2010 Winter Olympics.

-13h30 groupe odnaKo de Montréal, musique ethno-rock
Le groupe odnaKo de Montréal joue de la musique ethno-rock en combinant les différents stylistiques rock, les aires russes, les rythmes chamans et autres éléments ethniques. C'est sûrement cette symbiose passée par l'individualité de chaque membre du groupe, qui permet de tisser la toile de la musique et qui aspire de nouvelles recherches musicales. OdnaKo ne se limite pas par un certain style musical, le son du groupe est déterminé principalement par sa composition, la phase de la lune et les marées à l'embouchure de la rivière St-Laurent.
