About Festival

Following a string of critical acclaim in recent years for the films The Death of Mr. Lazarescu, 12:08 East of Bucharest, The Paper Will Be Blue and last year’s Cannes Palme d’Or winner 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, Romania has emerged as one of the world’s most creative and cutting-edge filmmaking cultures. The Film Society of Lincoln Center is currently offering New Yorkers the rare chance to delve deep into that country’s rich artistic tradition in Shining Through a Long, Dark Night: Romanian Cinema, Then and Now, at the Walter Reade Theater, April 16–27. For more Film Center coverage, check out the New Directors/New Films series.

On our second day attending the Film Society of Lincoln Center's survey of pre- and post-1989 Romanian cinema at the Walter Reade Theater, we chatted with director Tudor Giurgiu about his new film LOVE SICK, which explores the romantic relationship that develops between two young college girls. Giurgiu spoke with us about how his story originated, the much heralded Romanian New Wave, and the logistics of being creative in his home country.

During the Film Society of Lincoln Center series Shining Through a Long, Dark Night: Romanian Cinema, Then and Now, we had a chance to sit down with filmmaker Ruxandra Zenide at the Romanian Cultural Center of New York. We chatted with the first-time director about her film RYNA, which concerns a teenage girl mechanic forced to personify the son her father never had. Ruxandra talks about gender identity, working in Romania, and the politics of filmmaking.
