They had boycotted my film, slandered my name, insulted my family, saying that I had no place in the film industry. I had sent Iain Smith the script about two months before the festival, but I had not heard back from him. Kind of a Mad Max, but at another level. 2 hours and 45 minutes, in black and white, a dystopia with a mob God smoking Havana. God is a Gangster. We were abolishing the Vatican. We were presenting the angels as some bored mercenaries. And the people, some ants burned down with a magnifying glass by an uncrucified Jesus.
(Translated by Tania Diniță / University of Bucharest, Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literatures, MTTLC, year II / Corrected by Silvia Petrescu, coordinator of the translations)Real Fiction is a collective project started in 2013 by Florin Piersic Jr. The concept of Real Fiction continued to exist as a Facebook group, after a volume of stories was published at Humanitas Publishing House. (In June 2023, the group has 11,430 members.) The authors write ultra-short stories, with the texts limited to 500 characters (in Romanian, so the length of the English translation might be a little different) - a flash-fiction exercise on a topic that changes every few days. The group's coordinators are Florin Piersic Jr., Gabriel Molnar, Răzvan Penescu, Luchian Abel, and Vlad Mușat. (Drawing by Adrian T. Roman)
