Before a National Anthem (How Do You Compose a National Anthem Today?)

Irina Botea | Romania | 2010 | 11' |

| IFFR 2015

The film attempts to analyse and exhaust the model of a national anthem through engaging with its historic form and content. Writers and musicians, people in a variety of different public spaces in Romania, were asked: How do you compose a national anthem today? A collage text was then assembled, and new music composed.
