My Beautiful Dacia is a light hearted and humoristic portrayal of the evolution of Romania from Communism to Capitalism, seen through the eyes of its most emblematic symbol, the Dacia automobile. “In our film, we will follow different generations of Romanians – from the old nostalgic to the young entrepreneurs – showing the present transformation of Romanian society. The connecting point between the different stories is always the Dacia car: first, a symbol of the ambitions of Communist technology and now a reflection of the new global economy. ” (Julio Soto si Stefan Constantinescu)

Belgrade Days of Oris
Opening: 14 May, Belgrade

Oris magazine continues the tradition of the Days of Oris, presenting for the first time the Belgrade Days of Oris, in Dom Sindikata in Belgrade on 14 May, with start at 14:00.
This event, welcoming some of the greatest names of world architecture and urban planning every year, has put Belgrade on the map of global architectural events and is becoming an unmissable venue for everyone who loves architecture.
The numerous lectures of architects presenting their work and revealing their creative credo enable the visitors to see some of the most important trends in contemporary architecture and to hear some of the most significant architects of our time.
The Days of Oris will not only present the best of world architecture, but also present and promote local and regional contemporary architecture.

A special edition of zeppelin with buildings from rough concrete or digged into massive concrete, spatial cells, plots that are too little or too big, insertions into historical texture, outskirts and transitional suburbs.
Florian Stanciu and Iulia Stanciu from STARH will present completed, under construction or projects that are in preliminary stages; we’ll talk about architecture as a continuous process, about place and the essence of a function, and also about the structure as an essential element of the concept and not as a problem to be solved by the engineers.
