“Macrame” is an experimental documentary born out of a collaborative effort during the COVID-19 pandemic. Created by a group of young filmmakers from different parts of Romania, who had never met in person, the film explores the nature of childhood and growing up. Using a blend of newly created footage and archival images from personal collections, “Macrame” weaves together individual and collective experiences to reflect on childhood as both a universal journey and a Romanian cultural identity. The project intertwines personal memories and reflections, all while navigating the challenges of remote collaboration and experimentation in filmmaking.
