“The Rest Is Silence“ by Nae Caranfil won the largest number of Gopo Awards. The film, which was Romania ‘s official entry for the 2009 best foreign film Oscar award, reaped nine Gopo awards, two of them being the best feature film and the best screenplay awards. “The Rest Is Silence" is the most expensive Romanian film ever made after the 1989 revolution with costs amounting to about 2.5 million euros. The screenplay written 14 years ago, has won the Martin & Rossi Trophy at the International Film Festival in Paris and the Hartey & Merril Award in Los Angeles. The story that inspired Nae Caranfil is related to the first feature film entitled “The Independence of Romania “made in 1912. Marius Florea Vizante who played the leading role in “The Rest Is Silence “said he was delighted to have worked with film director Nae Caranfil :
“Nae Caranfil knows quite well how to make use of realism but he can go even farther in that he manages to add those elements changing it into an art film. And I mean candour, irony and a keen sense of observation and all this has made me fall in love with the script. The script has humour, poetry, drama and all of them are in a balanced proportion".
With 11 nominations, Radu Muntean’s feature film “ Boogie “ won four Gopo Awards, including the best director award, the best actress award, which went to Bafta winner Ana Maria Marinca and the best actor award, presented to Dragos Bucur. The film, which was selected in the Quinzaine des Realisateurs “section of the 2008 Cannes Film Festival tells the story of a married man who meets his high school friends and wants to spend a night just like in the old days. One of the most outstanding Romanian actors, Marin Moraru was granted a life time achievement award. He started his career in the sixties and has starred in 24 feature films, the latest being “Amen” by the famed director Costa Gavras. The Gopo Awards are not only an opportunity for the Romanian Society of Cinematographers to reward the most important achievements in the Romanian cinema in the previous year. It is also an attempt to promote the values of Romanian cinema among the general public. The Gopo Awards, designed after the model of the famous Oscar statuettes are a tribute paid to the late Romanian film maker and cartoonist Ion Popescu Gopo who won a Palme d’Or for his short film “Short History “in 1957.
