IndieLisboa – Associação Cultural once again revisits one of the most interesting countries in recent cinema production, Romania. Romanian Days will be presented at Culturgest, event promoted by the Romanian Cultural Institute, from the 19th to the 23rd of November, and everyone is invited to join this five-day journey that embodies the country’s recent history – from the revolution to its consequences – and the various manifestations of a deeply ironic cinema.
Within the programme, we dedicate a special focus on director Radu Jude’s work, one of the most prominent authors of its generation, through an integral retrospective of his work and a carte blanche: Jude chose to pay an homage to Iosif Demian screnning the film Baloane de curcubeu (Rainbow Baloons, 1982). Adrian Sitaru, also one of the most singular authors of this Romanian New Wave, will present his new short film in Portugal Artă (Art) screened in the last Venice Film Festival and his previous feature, Domestic. Among documentaries, fictions, short and feature films, Romanian Days in Lisbon will show important historical documents, such as După Revoluţie (After the Revolution), by Laurențiu Calciu, and brilliant satires to the human behaviour, such as Visul lui Adalbert (Adalbert’s Dream), by Gabriel Achim.
Romanian Days special guests are Adrian Sitaru (director), Serban Pavlu (actor, The Japanese Dog, Shadow of a Cloud, Everybody in Our Family, A Film For Friends, The Happiest Girl in the World, Alexandra) and Andrei Rus (programmer and film critic).
