Biography
Born in 1953, Copel Moscu graduated from the National Institute of Drama and Film Bucharest in 1978, after which he worked at the Sahia Documentary Film Studio. One of the key authors of the Romanian Documentary New Wave from the '80s (together with Ovidiu Bose Paștină, Tereza Barta, Laurențiu Damian, Sabina Pop) he was a pioneer in challenging the borders of cinematic language in controversial, subversive films, which concealed, under daring conceptual and formal experimentation, a fierce criticism of the communist regime, many of which were banned by the establishment's censorship. Copel Moscu created over 50 short and feature films (The Evening School, On the Ozana Shore, My Beloved School, The Bronze Age, A Day Will Come, I Chose Freedom), as director and scriptwriter, for which he was awarded over 25 international and national prizes. He presently teaches film directing at the National University of Theatre and Film "I.L. Caragiale" (UNATC) and video art at the National University of Arts Bucharest (UNARTE) and is referred to as an artistic consultant for television and cinema. In 2010, consistent with his free innovative vision and educational commitment, he took the challenge to offer Romanian audiences, and particularly cinema and visual arts students, the first International Experimental Film Festival in Romania.
