In Their Own Time

History produced the image of a measured man. We read it as a slow one.

“In Their Own Time” starts from a stereotype, the unhurried Transylvanian, and becomes a film about the price of speed in a world exhausted by its own acceleration.

It maps how a group image is manufactured, passed on and kept alive by the very people it describes. It works with archives, a border map and scientific research, not impressions.

Shooting takes place in the studio, at the National Theatre in Cluj-Napoca and at Bánffy Castle in Răscruci.
