Abstract

For centuries, art and culture have established themselves as fundamental forms of activity, through which man manifests his visions of the world. Having the man and his creation at their center, they also defi ne the human way of existence, becoming the symbol of man’s creative force. Th at is why they are always in the center of attention of scientists, people of art and culture, including filmmakers, who have released an indefinite number of films on this theme on the world’s screens. One of them is the filmmaker Vlad Druc, for whom art and culture are his favorite themes. His films can serve as argument: Arta, Maria Codreanu, Ion Creangă, Ploi de dor, Firul viu, Goblen, Tata, Meșterul anonym, …și neobosite mâinile tale, Vai, sărmana turturică, Obsesie, Aria, etc. On the basis of the feature film Timp de a trăi (Time to Live), we will try to highlight the spectrum of interests of the director Vlad Druc in the fi eld of art and culture, the visions and the ways of expression through the cinematographic language of the invaluable matter subjected to cinematic investigations in order to elucidate his identity paradigm.
