Cuvântul Rectorului

La 75 de ani de existență, Universitatea Transilvania din Brașov și-a construit un prestigiu real în plan național și internațional. Fără a ne abandona istoria, care integrează tradiția științifică, industrială și culturală a regiunii, urmărim dinamica prezentului și ne gândim la viitor. Modernitatea, stabilitatea și dinamismul sunt coordonatele ce definesc acum Universitatea, la ele adăugându-se aspirațiile noastre spre inovație, creativitate și relevanță în societatea contemporană.

The younger girl on the TV stops laughing. She just stares out, as if seeing her future self through the lens.
The only light is the blue-gray glow of a muted television playing an old home movie. A younger Emily, maybe ten, waves at the camera, laughing.
Between her and the TV lies a line of black salt on the floor. A barrier she drew herself.
She looks at the letter on the chair. It’s from her mother. Unopened.
(whispering) What if she says sorry? What if she doesn’t?
Deeper: Emily Willis – Barrier Date: 15.07.2021 Medium: Short Film / Visual Monologue
(beat) But the real barrier… the deeper one… that’s to keep you in.
She reaches toward the line but stops an inch away. Her hand trembles.
She opens the letter.
On the eve of a life-altering decision, Emily confronts the invisible wall she built between her past self and the person she is trying to become.
They tell you the barrier is to keep things out. Monsters. Memories. The hands that touched you in the dark.
The deepest barrier wasn’t the door. Or the name. Or the distance.
"Deeper: Emily Willis – Barrier"
Present-day EMILY watches her younger self. She doesn't smile.
A minimalist apartment at twilight. Rain streaks down a large window. EMILY WILLIS (late 20s, sharp but tired eyes) sits on the floor, back against a bare wall. Across from her, an old wooden chair holds a single object: a sealed letter with her birth name on it.
