This is a documentary broadcasted by the Romanian Television about the memorable Sinaia Guitar Festival 1984.
It was the second edition of the Festival (started in 1983) and brought some new development: a structured, guided program, which was obligatory for all participants, like in other international Festivals. There were age categories and required music works from different historical periods of the guitar’s literature.
Enthusiastic teachers and personalities of the jury, like Dr. Eduard Pamfil, Prof. Nicolae Epureanu and others worked so creative to establish a format, implementing these regulation to the contest.
Only those, who lived the moment in 1984 could imagine the emulation and the passion of all participants, who contributed to make free path to the development of Guitar in Romania.
4 sets of Savarez strings costed the same as a monthly engineer salary. No, of course, nobody can imagine this, but many participants did this sacrifice to fulfil their dreams and become better and better players.
I remember this documentary was broadcasted in a quiet Sunday afternoon in 1984 and is the work of the TV director for cultural events at that time, Mr. Boros Zoltan. You will remark his courage and bravery at the end of the movie, when he said “unthinkable” conclusions for those dark age times…
Enjoy the movie!
