End of story...and yet the book show goes on

Beauties from the book tale
On Friday, 9th of December, we met again at the County Library from Mr. Sava Str. to continue the short film project.
We joined again our duty with seriousness and funny happy moments, the movies with the books and the library and the bookish city of the imaginary space, into an attempt to rediscover the meanings of love and reading. For this time, the gangster–readers faced a fierce battle among the shelves of the Reading Room and so they have learned that violence does not solve the conflicts and that love can save everything. How about the end? In the end, there was beautiful wedding between people and books, where the novels were reconciled with their readers, the gangsters, the action and love. (prof. Ana-Maria Cornilă-Norocea)

Impressions from the participants:
Claudiu George Ţibrea, IX B: Today, while filming, I felt as a real mafia boss. During the struggle between the two clans I’ve learned what means to make decisions, how to take prisoners and how to lose one of you men.

Rareş Gătin, IX B: I thought it’s easy to act, but I discovered it is hard work to do. It’s hard to stay serious, when you are used to smile most of the time. 

Andrei Costache, IX C: Even though I cannot be so easily when the shooting takes place, I enjoy it so much and I am glad that I am with all my school mates and that we work together for a memorable short film.
  
Cristina Nenciu, IX B: A few amazing hours, story hours and dreamy hours. We altogether stepped into the imaginary world and tried our best to be as close to the performance of real actors.
  
Dana Manole, IX B: Beyond the belligerent appearances, the movies had a special sensitivity. 
   
Raluca Lupu, IX C: Books form together a city of dreams, where the characters have escaped from the books of love and action. The two mafia clans fight, argue but the story ends with a wedding.

Andreea Strătulă, IX C: It is the beauty of the past combined with the fragrance of the books…
Every beginning has an end. A beginning of fighting and arguing followed by a love story ended with a wedding near the books.
