TATA is about the things we hide. About trauma, violence (economic, psychological, physical), about abuse, about healing and how to break toxic and painful cycles. I hope this award means that we are more prepared to listen to those who suffer in silence, who are afraid and ashamed to speak up. That we no longer look away and accept violence as normal.
TATA was born from a very personal place and would not have existed without such a large number of partners and friends who believed in it. HBO, CNC, our co-producers.
I am eternally grateful to @raduciorniciuc, my partner who always encouraged me, to @monica_lazurean_gorgan, who believed in this story from the very beginning, to the entire @manifestfilm.ro production company, and, most importantly, to my father.

#MeetTheDirectors of ROMANIAN FILM FESTIVAL IN WASHINGTON, D.C., taking place November 13–16!
🎬 Lina Vdovîi is an award-winning Moldovan journalist, writer, and filmmaker whose work spans human rights, migration, and social justice. She is widely recognized as the co-writer of the celebrated documentary “Acasă, My Home” (2020), for which she earned a Best Writing Award from the Romanian Filmmakers Union. Before transitioning fully into film, Lina produced news and documentaries for ZDF and contributed investigative reports to major European outlets. Her storytelling combines sharp journalistic rigor with poetic cinematic perspective.
🎬 Radu Ciorniciuc, a Romanian investigative journalist and filmmaker, is the co-founder of Casa Jurnalistului, a renowned independent reporting platform. His debut feature documentary, “Acasă, My Home,” which he directed, received the Special Jury Award for Cinematography at Sundance 2020, a European Film Award nomination, and was widely praised for its empathetic, visually striking portrayal of a family transitioning from wilderness to urban life. His filmmaking is deeply rooted in long-form investigative reporting and immersive fieldwork.
🎞 Lina Vdovîi and Radu Ciorniciuc co-directed “Tata” @tata.documentary, a powerful new documentary that continues their exploration of intimate human stories shaped by resilience, family, and social change.

#MovieSpotlight of the ROMANIAN FILM FESTIVAL IN WASHINGTON, D.C., taking place November 13–16!
🎞️ 🇷🇴 As we continue counting down to the 6th edition of the Romanian Film Festival in Washington, D.C., we are proud to introduce another powerful story in this year’s lineup: “TATA”, a gripping and deeply human documentary directed by Lina Vdovîi & Radu Ciorniciuc.
🎥 A raw, intimate portrait filmed across Italy, Moldova, and Romania, TATA.documentary follows Lina — a Moldovan journalist — whose years-long estrangement from her father is shattered when she receives a troubling video message showing bruises on his arms. Equipping him with a hidden camera, she begins a parallel investigation that uncovers a painful legacy of domestic violence passed down through generations. This is a story about confronting the past, reclaiming agency, and breaking cycles — for a daughter, for her children, and even for the man who caused her pain.

Le visionneur d’histoires Instagram est un outil simple qui vous permet de regarder et de sauvegarder secrètement les histoires Instagram, vidéos, photos ou IGTV. Avec ce service, vous pouvez télécharger du contenu et l’apprécier hors ligne quand vous voulez. Si vous trouvez quelque chose d’intéressant sur Instagram que vous souhaitez vérifier plus tard ou si vous voulez voir des histoires tout en restant anonyme, notre Visionneur est parfait pour vous. Anonstories offre une excellente solution pour garder votre identité cachée. Instagram a lancé la fonctionnalité Stories en août 2023, rapidement adoptée par d’autres plateformes en raison de son format engageant et temporaire. Les histoires permettent aux utilisateurs de partager des mises à jour rapides, qu’il s’agisse de photos, vidéos ou selfies, agrémentés de texte, emojis ou filtres, visibles pendant 24 heures seulement. Cette fenêtre de temps limitée crée un fort engagement par rapport aux publications régulières. Aujourd’hui, les histoires sont l’un des moyens les plus populaires de se connecter et de communiquer sur les réseaux sociaux. Cependant, lorsque vous regardez une histoire, le créateur peut voir votre nom dans leur liste de visionneurs, ce qui peut poser un problème de confidentialité. Et si vous souhaitez naviguer dans les histoires sans être repéré ? C’est là qu’Anonstories devient utile. Il vous permet de regarder du contenu public sur Instagram sans révéler votre identité. Il vous suffit d’entrer le nom d’utilisateur du profil qui vous intéresse, et l’outil affichera ses dernières histoires. Fonctionnalités du visionneur Anonstories : - Navigation anonyme : Regardez des histoires sans apparaître dans la liste des visionneurs. - Aucun compte requis : Regardez du contenu public sans vous inscrire à un compte Instagram. - Téléchargement de contenu : Sauvegardez directement du contenu d’histoires sur votre appareil pour une utilisation hors ligne. - Voir les highlights : Accédez aux Highlights Instagram, même après la période de 24 heures. - Suivi des reposts : Suivez les reposts ou l’engagement sur les histoires des profils personnels. Limitations : - Cet outil fonctionne uniquement avec les comptes publics ; les comptes privés restent inaccessibles. Avantages : - Respect de la vie privée : Regardez n’importe quel contenu Instagram sans être repéré. - Simple et facile : Aucune installation d’application ni inscription requise. - Outils exclusifs : Téléchargez et gérez du contenu de manière que Instagram ne permet pas.
Suivez les mises à jour Instagram en toute discrétion tout en protégeant votre vie privée et en restant anonyme.
Consultez les profils et photos anonymement avec aisance grâce au visionneur de profil privé.
Ce service gratuit vous permet de voir les histoires Instagram anonymement, garantissant que votre activité reste cachée de l’uploader.

Le contenu des comptes privés n’est accessible qu’aux abonnés.
