My film............


Is about
 'One of the most terrible experiments in dehumanisation that our epoch has known' as François Furet agrees,
or 
 'the most terrible act of barbarism in the contemporary world' according to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (the writer who won the  Nobel Prize for literature in 1970).


The idea of producing and directing a feature film about communism in Romania came four years ago, when I visited, for the first time, the communist prisons were many students, intellectuals, politicians, women and aristocrats died tortured.
This is a story that has to be told and people need to know what happened during that period. More information here  - hope you will not get too scarred :P
The film is a docu drama; A feature movie focused on a real life story .
Inspired by the life of the most infamous tormentor of the Communist Regime, “Herman” tells the unspeakable story inside Pitesti Penitentiary, the worst prison ever created by the Communist Regime. It is the story of a promising and bright young man, who, due to dire circumstances, radically changed into one of the most controversial characters in Romanian history, in just a few years time. Apparently a gruesome archangel of death, who brought terror and shame in the hearts and minds of so many political prisoners, in the 1950s, “Herman” was actually a puppet of the National Security, who manipulated and deceived him utterly, till the point of no return. Our story is an original and different approach of this peculiar character, who still remains in the conscience of many as an abomination of nature and an error of humanity. However, no legend, good or bad, has only one side of the truth.

Hakkari, Turkey

      If I would not get the opportunity to see Hakkari through an Youth in Action project, I probably would have never visit ed this blessed town, settled in the middle of the mountains. Hakkari is a place situated in the South East corner of Turkey, close to the border with Iraq and Iran.   It is composed of a Kurdish and Assyrian population and has approximately 57,844 people.     The history of this place takes your breath away. It was a refuge for the persecuted Christian Assyrians who ran away   in   the mountains to protect themselves against the Timurlane occupation (Turko-Mongolian   emir) in the 14 th century. Then in the 19 th century, they   were conquered by the Kurdish people and were turned into slaves or executed. There were also many conflicts between the Kurdish population an d the O t toman (later, Turkish) control. Hakkari was considered and it is still seen as an unsafe place to live.   Still, there is no r

Bitola. It's all about history here

Thanks to Youth in Action programme again, I came across an old, historical, Macedonian city called Bitola. Situated in the S-W part of Macedonia, Bitola settles at the foot of Baba Mountain and it is crossed by the Dragon River.   The place represents an important junction between the Adriatic Sea, the Aegean Sea and Central Europe. You would never guess, but this city has an impressive history.     It was founded as Heraclea Lyncestis (City of Hercules upon the Land of the Lynx) in the middle of the 4th century BC by Philip II of Macedon and it was an important settlement from the Hellenistic period until the early Middle Ages. Then, the Romans conquered this part of Macedon in 148 BC and destroyed the political power of the city. Still, the city remained prosperous because of the Via Egnatia Roman road which passed by the city. In the early Byzantine period (4th to 6th centuries AD) Heraclea was an important episcopal centre and bishops like Bishop Eva

The MARRIAGE in Saudi Arabia

Strange or not, the marriage in Saudi Arabia is a beautiful story. I know that “someone” in there regrets that it told me this, but now I know it and   I will tell it to everyone, hehehehe J Definitely, when it is about marriage, the men needs to decide he wants to marry. And from that time he starts to look forward to pick up a girl. Well, most of the women in Saudi keep their face hidden from age of 12-14 th ..and for the poor Saudi young men will be so difficult to choose someone. The easier way is to go for a girl from the family (a cousin for example). Yes, it is true, you can marry with your cousin!:)   Eh, when you have decided that she is the one, you need to go and “negociate” with the girl’s family. And you need to pay at least 40 000 Riyals (this is the limit, but some people paid more than 100 000 Riyals) for the bride’s family. With this money, the family will take care of the wedding and other stuffs. After this, the future groom will offer to the future br
