If our civilization perishes, or dies in a nuclear accident or war, how will it reemerge?

This year's SMCK On Reel festival title "Civilization Rebooted" addresses the most crucial issues of our times such as war, poverty, climate change, environmental pollution, totalitarianism and censorship on the one hand, and recycling, renaissance, new values and social engagement and new aesthetics on the other.

SMCK On Reel presents a new series of video narratives, fiction and insight. More than thirty artists, designers, crafters, curators, fashion experts, gallerists and art professionals take part in SMCK on Reel at Romanian Jewelry Week's special editions in Timișoara/Romania and Chișinău/Moldava.
