Hotel Cișmigiu 1992

13 min Documentary

Florin Iepan's unsettling film documents the famous case of a student who, due to the lack of light in the corridors of the Cișmigiu Hotel - a student dormitory at the time- and a malfunction of the elevator, fell into the elevator shaft and died. The camera, which flies over the exterior and interiors of the Cișmigiu Hotel with extraordinary mobility, suggesting an extracorporeal perspective, captures the desolate poverty the residents of the dormitory used to live in during the first years after the Revolution.
