About other mothers

About other mothers

The official premiere of the movie "About other mothers", the one that closed the 5 th edition of the festival was marked by bad luck. The independent production was recently awarded in Moscow. On the way to IPIFF, the copy the tape was stopped in customs, and the filmmakers were forced to screen a copy of the films at a lower quality.

Despre WebSiteStory și filmul indie - Interviu cu Dan Chișu

Un scenariu original, primul lucru care te loveşte, apoi povestea. Distribuţia: copii neprofesionişti dar talentaţi. Actorii mari au facut partituri mici dar aşa bijuterii, Piersic Junior, Şerban Ionescu, Dragoş Bucur.
Mi-a plăcut ideea, e originală, nefăcută în filmul românesc. Ai plecat de la internet...

The Concert

The Concert

Radu Mihaileanu's film was severely dissected by critics,it has been accused by many with the tendency towards melodrama, schematism and gross appeal to cliches. It is undoubtedly true, and the refined movie goers are partly entitled to be weary about the film. It is clear that  the stories whith fate and predestination,retrieving  past secrets and tearfull cometoghethers manipulate without honesty the public's reaction. Mihăileanu's story sometimes uses and abuses  these strategies. He thus manages to concentrate  the most varied audiences, to manipulate the viewers emotions and to make it as such  that spontaneous laughter can fall over an emphatic cry. Of course the audience armed with a critical spirit and cinematic reference  will be more vigilant about these strategies, they will find their motive and moderate  the effects. Yet, with all this or  because of all this it will be left immersed in the other virtues,  which the film beyond its leakage, has a full possession off.

Vivi Dragan Vasile about the cinematic essay

Vivi Dragan Vasile about the cinematic essay "Memory in Stone"

Mr. Dinu Tanase said yesterday at the premiere that "Memory in Stone" could be truly understood only by those who are part of the movie idustry or that have directly participated in the making of the film "The Stone Wedding". What is your opinion?

I do not know if there is something that is to be  understood in this movie because it is only  a remembrance of a famous movie,  a director,a small town and some characters. "The Stone Wedding" is the only Romanian movie purchased by the special video / multimedia  section of the Guggenheim Museum of Modern Art in New York. I think and I hope this film will awaken the curiosity of the young generation to see Mircea Veroiu's and Dan Pita's  movies, The Stone Wedding and The Spirit of Gold. I'd be very happy to see that happen.

The most interesting moments of the festival ...

Website Story gala screening

Website Story gala screening

At the IPIFF Guest Point there is a  longer line than there would be for warm bread and volunteers write Pass - cards to the public in a hurry, because there are so many people who are coming to Website Story. Stress is high and so is the natural impatience of the audience. Dan Chisu appears and calls for a  program. People are astonished, it is clear they are not accustomed to go to movies whose directors and actors are at the beginning of the screening, as if they came out of the screen. Sometimes  they seem downright unnatural and raise up justified questions like: are they people just like us? When the movie is good, the boundary between fiction and reality, between the actor and character becomes very thin. This is the benefit people like them have: the mirage of the superhuman.

Web Site Story -

Web Site Story - "a film for the youth that wakeps up the adults "

How Dan Chisu  proposed, Web Site Story is a film produced in a pure team spirit, a movie in which the subjective contribution of each member involved  has left its mark on the end result, naturall, rough by will,  gross.

"Kino Caravan" - They came with the movie!

Titus Munteanu,a transilvanian director, has made an exceptional movie in a typical Romanian setting, that  will be able to bring at least a smile on everyone's face. The subtle jokes, the contrast between  the worlds of the characters, the situation,are all part of one of the best black comedies from the past recent years in Romania.

Încă un film despre sex, droguri şi... hip-hop? - Tanti

Încă un film despre sex, droguri şi... hip-hop? - Tanti

Încă un film despre sex, droguri şi... hip-hop? Nu, nicidecum. Sigur, Tanti, noul lungmetraj al regizorului Şerban Marinescu înglobează multe locuri comune ale cinematografiei mondiale. Narcoticele, relaţiile sexuale deviante, violenţa, libertinajul sunt bifate. Însă filmul se centrează pe povestea Marilenei (Cecilia Barbora), o femeie trecută deja de 40 de ani. O femeie care prin comportamentul, atitudinea şi aspiraţiile tipice vârstei îşi poartă veritabilul şi venerabilul atribut “tanti”.

An evening of music at Gociman

An evening of music at Gociman

Still  plugged in after the official premiere of  Serban Marinescu's  film Auntie , IPIFF guests gathered up on the lawn at Gociman restaurant. Again, they were prepared with a very special event. Cari Tibor, the music composer  gave a concert accompanied by drummer  Albert Varess and singer Sânziana Tarta. The music specially written for theatre  could not have been better chosen. The tracks gave  a good opportunity to relax after a busy day of exeptional movies. The slightly wet grass urged you  to go barefoot on it, the moonlit lake behind the instruments helped the guests to disconnect, to forget everything and enjoy the show.

Kapitalism - our secret recipe

Kapitalism - our secret recipe

"In what ways does Romanian capitalism resemble a  game of Lego?" This question seems to be the background on wich the new documentary of Alexander Solomon, "Kapitalism - our secret recipe" is taking place on.. What does the  movie promise us? A characterization of the current economic system in Romania, with the transformations it bears, from the Revolution to the present, times, in the hands of characters like Dan Voiculescu, Patriciu or Becali.

An interview with Cari Tibor

An interview with Cari Tibor

Q: How was the "Music Theatre" born ?
CT: The first concert was just after the premiere of "Hamlet" in Timisoara,directed by Victor Ioan Frunza, for which I wrote music and having a lot of music outside the show  we thought we should also play it. Music Theatre is ussually forgotten once the show ends,it ceases to exists. And I'm very sorry, because every artist loves his work and has the desire to express himself and to keep what he has created. In this sense I thought we could play it in concerts. And even if they no longer sing in the show, the music remains in concert.After that we thought that we could develop it into a project that could be promoted better and then we thought to name it - "Music Theatre". And then I had many concerts in the country and even in Budapest!

First of all Felicia

First of all Felicia

First of all Felicia is a tree times debut. Ozana Oancea ( Felicia) makes her debut as a film actress,Razvan Radulesu as a director and Melissa Raaf as a script writer and director. With a Mise-en-scène created in great detail and a wonderfull script,First of all Felicia deserves its place in place in the top of Romanian movies made this year. Although Felicia… is his debut film, Razvan Radulescu is not a recent revelation on the Romanian fim scene. Cowriter for a great number of Cristi Puiu’s and Razvan Munteanu’films ,Razvan Radulescu is an acknowledged value of the Romanian cinema and his debut as a director only straighttness his status.
