Th e folk music, being a complete sociocultural phenomenon, expresses over the centuries the most diverse emotional-psychic states about the inner wealth of man, his emotional relationships with other people, with society, with his native lands. Th e local documentary fi lm managed to record the images and voices of several popular music performers in order to preserve and capitalize on this art, which contains priceless samples of our spiritual culture, of our identity valences. Several fi lmmakers devoted their fi lms to the creation of popular music performers: Emil Loteanu, Anatol Codru, Andrei Buruiană, Petre Ungureanu, Iacob Burghiu, Vlad Druc, Ion Mija, Ștefan Bulicanu et al. Th e director Vlad Druc got interested in the universe of folk music and through the creation of several professional and amateur singers in the fi lm Ploi de dor (Rain of Longing) (1975) manages to prove to us that our people created songs for all the events of human life: from birth to death. Director Andrei Buruiana’s fi lm about the distinguished performer Nicolae Sulac, whose creation constituted an era in our folk music, is also of interest.
