Inaugurated in Cluj central Romania a couple of days ago , starting Monday, the International Film Festival Transilvania is also underway in another town in Transilvania , Sibiu which is this year a European capital of culture. In Cluj the event opened with the film “Four months , three weeks and two days “ of young Romanian director Cristian Mungiu, who two days before had won the Palme d’Or in the Cannes International Film Festival with the first Romanian long reel that had ever got such a prize. The movie is about a student who has to make an abortion during the communist dictatorship when such a deed was illegal and punished with time in jail. Listen now to what the director of the movie, Cristian Mungiu told us:
“I made a film about responsibility and about making decisions, about human relationships between people living in a specific time period; in no case is this movie a chronicle of the respective epoch. This movie is based on a real story, one that goes back to my early youth, I was 20 back then and whose moral meaning should go beyond the historical context of the period in which it is placed , so that the film be understood by everybody”.
160 films from 39 countries will be presented in the festival but in the competition there are only 12, Romania being represented by Christian Mungiu’s movie. In 2002, at the first edition of the festival, Mungiu won the Transylvania Award with his first long reel “Occident”. Another Romanian movie that won the Un certain Regard Award in Cannes this year, namely California Dreamin’ of late Cristian Nemescu will be presented in Sibiu on Tuesday. American actor and film star Armand Asante who is playing one of the leading parts in the movie will be present in Sibiu at the Transilvania International Film Festival. Along the other Romanian actors playing in California Dreamin’, Assante will meet press people and movie lovers in this year European capital of culture.
As we cannot cover here all the films in the festival, we simply picked another one, a world premiere called “I really hate my job”, a British production starring two Romanian actresses: Oana Pellea in her first comedy part and Alexandra Maria Lara who lives in Germany. The movie is a comic portrait of five women working in a London restaurant who during one night are facing a psychic problem, several nervous breakdowns and more orders than they can handle. Everything is complicated by the fact that a cinema star is expected to come to the restaurant and possibly change the destiny of the protagonists. The award ceremony of the Transylvania International Film Festival will take place on Saturday, June the 9th.
