UNFINISHED, the first multidisciplinary festival in Romania, starts at the end of this week, on September 27. For seven days, the event will offer small ‘doses of confidence’ through workshops, debates, yoga sessions, online dating sessions and performances by over 60 speakers from 21 countries around the world.

 

Artist Marina Abramović, authors Priya Parker and Anand Giridharadas, cyborg activist Moon Ribas, Kickstarter founder – Perry Chen, professor of applied mathematics – Chris Wiggins and many other professionals from different industries will open a wider conversation about how we can regain trust in those around us, in leaders, in the news, in social media, in the community.

Capucine Gros, the artistic director of the festival, explained: “As UNFINISHED no longer happens in the museum, we completely reinvented the festival. We can’t reproduce 100% the atmosphere of an offline event and we don’t even want to do that. So this year, we created a completely new online platform, designed on the current needs of our community, we chose to have fewer presentations and more debates and conversations in order to capture human interaction. We pre-recorded most of the moments for a flawless experience and filmed everything in black and white to create a unique atmosphere. Together with our guests, we created original content, nothing recycled, nothing repeated, filmed in studios in Brazil, USA, France, England, Lithuania, Switzerland and Romania. We created the content thinking about our community, how to gain their trust and how not to deceive their expectations.”

Held under the high patronage of the European Parliament, the UNFINISHED festival will offer audio, video and visual content divided into four categories: Conversations, Performance, Art and Wellness. All moments are brought together under the theme TRUST and will be broadcasted on the F [OS] platform, in the three essential moments of the day: in the morning, between 08:00 and 09:00, at noon, starting with 13:00, and in the evening , between 20:00 and 23:00. The full program will be available a few days before the event, but the most anticipated moments include the conversation between the festival organizers and artist Marina Abramović, the performance of artists Moon Ribas and Oshoke Abalu, the art exhibition of Dan and Lia Perjovschi, the online session dating organized by Isabella Nardini, but also the discussion between the New York Times journalist Rukmini Callimachi and the team behind the show “Romania, I love you!”.

The fifth edition of UNFINISHED will take place between September 27 and October 4, 2020, in a new digital platform – [F] OS – created from scratch. Participation in the online event will be based on registration, for up to 3500 people, by filling out the form at the following link: https://bit.ly/unfinished20.
