Aliyah DaDa - screening with panel discussion

Director: Oana Giurgiu

Cast: Tristan Tzara, Marcel Iancu
Music: Sebastian Zsemlye, Alex Dragomir

The film presents a well documented history of Jews in Romania. 133 years ago, a small community in Moinești was leaving for the Holy Land, to establish one of the first kibbutzim in Palestine. Since then, the path of Jews towards Israel has been intertwined with the history of modern Romania through a love-hate bond, the influences of which cannot be quantified too soon. The historical tale is visually trimmed in the Dada style as a tribute to the pioneers of this movement, Tristan Tzara and Marcel Janco, two Jews of Romanian descent.
