The national character of art can be defined through its immanent ability to reflect life of a nation through the lens of national conscience of the creator combining and exteriorizing the totality of individual peculiarities of a nation in a special way. National psychology, artistic concepts and the way of their exposure, national language, conditions of being of a nation form the matrix that like a catalytic material is activated consciously or unconsciously in creative works of great artists of every epoch. The definitive features of national identity were solidified in works created over the course of history of a national genius, expressing its ups and downs, drama and happiness in an indisputable way. And intense globalization that shows in changes of values, rhythm of spiritual goods circulation, interference (and sometimes assimilation!) of cultures doesn’t deny the connection with places, conditions and peculiarities contained in identifying bulletin of a nation. Artistic values that are deeply national and reflect general human meanings, have always enjoyed universal vibrancy. The specificity of the artistic universe presents the tendency of a precise historic expression of the general human and thus striving towards universality. Thus, works of art, created by professionals (or anonymous craftsmen), become a universal spiritual heritage in mind. Just a few examples: Renaissance art, the works of Francisco Goya, Van Gogh, Pieter Brueghel, Hieronymus Bosch, Pablo Picasso, Constantin Brâncuși, Nicolae Grigorescu, Ion Țuculescu. Creations of our contemporaries: Mihai Grecu, Igor Vieru, Valentina Rusu-Ciobanu. Pictorial creations of such artists as well as their destinies were based on art documentaries in which film directors, directly or indirectly, addressed all aspects of the above nominees, highlighting the cinematic language through the components of the national identity, their importance in content and form of pictorial work. These works are transposed the original on-screen and interpreted from the perspective of audiovisual approaches and obtain new meanings, new dimensions. The documentary art film, thanks to its potential for the exploration and assimilation of the cinematic language of other genres of Arts (fine art, theatrical, choreographic, folk art, etc.) from various civilizations and cultures, has established itself as a special category in the world of nonfiction cinema. Performance techniques and technologies allow filmmakers to discover mutations of psychological and aesthetic order of the evolution from national to universal, let alone the fact that the present communication through film has created the most real possibilities for spiritual values, works of art of all genres to become accessible in all over the world.
