Description : An old bus is driving through the night, Coca Cola ads are glued on dilapidated facades, people are relentlessly chewing gum, gypsy kids are dancing for the camera, shop windows shine with suspicious foods from the Communist period, while people are arguing around Ceausescu’s grave. From time to time, text inserts are feeding obscure information in Latin about the infamous prince Dracula, the Walachia ruler who for centuries kept the European psyche alert. All those disparate images are depicting a generic country, where the phantoms of a dire past are still hunting the present. Both self-deprecating and critical of the Western imagination thirsty for kitsch horror and fake blood, this video is part of a larger body of tactical events meant to bring a twist of humour to the stiff perception of Romania in a Post-Wall world.
