  Abstract:  The World Anew: A Familiar Story of Modern Penelope. Start Anew World / O lume Nouă (2014) is a period short film directed by Luiza Pârvu and written by Toma Peiu, two young Romanian filmmakers who work and study together in the U.S.A. The film, therefore, is bound to have emerged from their own life-stories – on the one hand. On the other hand, it was inspired by century-old life-stories of some of Toma Peiu’s relatives, who once ”started their worlds anew” as immigrants overseas. Toma and Luiza employed century-old family sepia photos and astounding historical documentation. The film is a complex metaphor of life and death, of love, and a young couple’s harsh first experience that life is unpredictable.
