Director Statement

Romania is a little Eastern European country with a population of 19.4 million people. However, that is only because we’re not counting the 9.7 million that have left the country and are living abroad. According to United Nations, that places Romania second only to Syria when it comes to mass migration.

Far is a local story just as much as it is an international one. It’s about people who grew up together and left their hometown of Suceava to sell their talent and intelligence to a foreign country. Their emigration left a void within the microcosm of the family and the macrocosm of society alike.

How long can long distance friendship survive? What does “home” mean to these expats, particularly within a pandemic? How long can you preserve your sense of self while trying to assimilate an entirely different culture? Can home really become a prison? How do you quarantine alone, and in a land of foreigners? Can virtual space become real? How palpable can a relationship be through squares of pixels, 0s and 1s? What remains holy in the 5G era? We aimed to explore all these questions via a medium that is still quite an “undiscovered country,” focusing on what it has to offer rather than what obstacles it might impose.
