    Kino: Auswahl der in Cannes ausgezeichneten Filme in Rumänien gezeigt

    Eine Auswahl von zehn Filmen, die mit dem Palme d’Or in Cannes ausgezeichnet wurden, wurde auf dem 10. Festival Les Films de Cannes à Bucarest“ zwischen dem 18. Und dem 27. Oktober gezeigt. Auf dem Programm standen acht Premieren rumänischer Produktionen sowie Gespräche zwischen dem Publikum und den Filmemachern. Cătălin Mitulescu wurde für den Kurzfilm Trafic“ mit dem Palme d’Or ausgezeichnet und Dorotheea Petre erhielt im Streifen Wie ich den Weltuntergang verbrachte“ desselben Regisseurs den speziellen Jurypreis des Programmteils Un Certain Regard“ für die beste Darstellerin in einer Hauptrolle. Der jüngste Spielfilm von Mitulescu, Heidi“, trat neulich im Wettbewerb der Filmfestspiele in Sarajevo an.



    Die Dokumentation Der Mensch, der frei sein wollte“, in der Regie von Mihai Mincan und George Chiper-Lillemark, erzählt die Geschichte eines Rebellen, der im kommunistischen Rumänien frei leben will. Das Tagebuch der Familie Escu“ von Şerban Georgescu schlägt in Form einer Dokumentation einen Überblick über kleine und gro‎ße Ereignisse der Geschichte aus persönlicher Sicht vor.



    Ivana die Schreckliche“, eine Produktion, die beim Filmfestival in Locarno mit dem speziellen Jurypreis ausgezeichnet wurde, ist eine mit Humor erzählte unkonventionelle Geschichte über Menschen und Orte, über Zugehörigkeitsgefühl und Heimweh. Im Mittelpunkt der Handlung der rumänisch-serbischen Koproduktion steht eine Frau, die auf keinem der Donauufer, weder in Rumänien noch in Serbien, ihr Zuhause finden kann. Die Regisseurin und Darstellerin Ivana Mladenović kommt zu Wort mit Einzelheiten:



    Mein vorheriger Film, »Soldaten. Eine Geschichte aus dem Bukarester Viertel Ferentari«, ist die Verfilmung des Buches von Adrian Schiop, der auch die Hauptrolle spielt. In »Ivana die Schreckliche« habe ich meine eigene Erfahrung verfilmt, meine eigene Geschichte wird jetzt zur Fiktion, aber meine Familie und Freunde verkörpern im Film ihre eigenen Rollen. Es handelt sich um eine Komödie, in der sich jeder von uns entblö‎ßt, denn in Wirklichkeit neigen wir dazu, uns selber zu ernst zu nehmen. »Ivana die Schreckliche« ist jedoch kein einfacher Film, und es war auch für mich nicht einfach, ihn zu machen, denn er basiert auf meiner Erfahrung, einschlie‎ßlich Sachen, die nicht angenehm sind. Der Film befasst sich mit einem Krisenmoment, einem Generationskonflikt, der Beziehung zwischen zwei Ländern und erzählt die Geschichte einer Frau, die Serbien verlässt, um sich in Rumänien niederzulassen.“




    Der Schauspieler Vlad Ivanov und der Filmemacher Adi Voicu sind zwei der Vertreter Rumäniens bei dem diesjährigen Filmfestival in Cannes. Die letzte Reise ans Meer“ wurde dieses Jahr für die Sektion La Semaine de la Critique“ ausgewählt. Die Handlung spielt sich in einem Zug ab, der in Richtung Meer fährt. Die sechs Reisegäste kommen miteinander ins Gespräch, aber wegen eines Verdachts gerät die Situation au‎ßer Kontrolle. Die Rollen werden von Angela Marcovici, Ana Ciontea, Cristina Juncu, Silviu Debu, Salih Yildirim, Alina Vior verkörpert. Ana Ciontea und Silviu Debu erzählen über ihre Zusammenarbeit mit dem Filmemacher Adi Voicu. Ana Ciontea:



    Das Drehbuch hat mich vom ersten Moment an überzeugt, selbst wenn es später ein wenig geändert wurde. Auch die gro‎ße Rücksicht des Regisseurs auf Details hat mich erobert. Sehr wichtig fand ich auch das Vertrauen, das uns der Regisseur schenkte.“



    Darsteller Silviu Debu fand die soziale Dynamik spannend:



    Der Streifen befasst sich mit der Welt, in der wir leben. In einem Zug kommen sechs Menschen im verschiedenen Alter, die verschiedenen Religionen und sozialen Gruppen angehören, ins Gespräch zusammen. Für eine der Figuren ist diese Zugfahrt leider die letzte Reise seines Lebens. Es handelt sich eigentlich um eine schöne Metapher für die Welt, in der wir leben. Das hat mir besonders gefallen, dass der Film unsere Welt irgendwie zusammenfasst. Ich habe die Rolle beim ersten Treffen mit dem Regisseur ohne zu zögern akzeptiert.“



    Der Film Maria, Königin Rumäniens“ von Alexis Sweet Cahill wurde mit dem Preis des Publikums bei dem zehnten Filmfestival Les Films de Cannes à Bucarest“ ausgezeichnet. Der Streifen basiert auf einer wahren Begebenheit und ist in die rumänischen Kinos am 8. November gekommen.

    Les Films de Cannes a Bucarest

    The 10th edition of the Les Films de Cannes a Bucarest festival brought the most eagerly-awaited productions to Bucharest, shortlisted for the Cannes Film festival. But apart from that, this year, Romanian films were premiered as part of the festival, while other Romanian productions were previewed. The festival also made possible encounters with some of the filmmakers as well as master-classes.



    A gala preview was staged for no less than eight Romanian productions. Catalin Mitulescu is a Palme D’Or Laureate for the best short reel ‘Traffic’. Mitulescu’s feature film “How I spent the end of the world” scooped the jury’s Un Certain Regard Special prize. For the same production, Dorotheea Petre won the Best Actress Award in the aforementioned category. Catalin Mitulescu has returned to the world of filmmaking with his new production, “Heidi”, which has been recently screened as part of the competition at the Sarajevo Film Festival. “The man who wanted to be free” is a documentary directed by Mihai Mincan and George Chiper — Lillemark. It tells the tale of a young rebel who decided to live a freeman’s live during the communist years, in a country torn by poverty and terror. Serban Georgescu’s “The Diary of the Escu Family”, is another documentary that comes up with an emphatically personal account of individual, apparently trifling episodes actually heralding the great events we have all been part of, in the 100 years since the Great Union has been sealed, in 1918. Ivana Mladenovic is the director and performer of the lead part in her documentary “Ivana the terrible”. Ivana Mladenovic also co-authored the screenplay for her production that scooped the Jury’s Special prize in the Locarno Festival’s Cineasti del Presente section. The film is an unconventional account of people and places, it speaks about the sense of belonging and that strong feeling of longing. It is a tale told in humour and tenderness.


    Ivana Mladenovic :


    ”In ‘Soldiers. A tale from Ferentari’ I turned Adrian Schiop’s book into a film, I also picked Adrian Schiop to play the lead part. In ‘Ivana the Terrible’ I decided to go a little bit further in that I have used my own experience for the film, my own story, obviously fictionalizing it, but choosing to have friends and people in my family play their own parts. I opted for that formula which somehow turns the film into a comedy, a formula which at once compels you to come out in the open as oftentimes, it seems to me we tend to take ourselves way too seriously. ‘Ivana the Terrible’ was difficult to make, since it is a film which starts off from my own experience, it starts off from episodes that occurred in reality and which were not quite pleasant. To put it briefly, it is about a moment of crisis which occurred two years ago, the film speaks about staying healthy, mentally as well as physically, it speaks about the relationship between two countries, about a girl who chose to leave for Romania and ended up returning to Serbia, it speaks about generation clash. Making a film about all that, it is not so simple, it is not easy to put all that into a film.”


    Actor Vlad Ivanov and filmmaker Adi Voicu were Romania’s representatives at this year’s edition of the Cannes Film Festival. They also travelled around the country attending several editions of the Les Film des Cannes a Bucarest Festival. Adi Voicu travelled to Cluj, Brasov and Suceava with his short feature film, The Last Journey to the Sea, which this year was shortlisted for Festival’s La Semaine de la Critique section. ‘The Last Journey to the sea’ is Adi Voicu’s second short feature film, after The Mist, a production that scooped awards in Angers and Sankt Petersburg. The plot is set in a compartment of a train rolling towards the seaside. The seven passengers strike up a conversation, but a moment comes when some sort of suspicion causes things to get out of hand. Members of the cast for the short fiction film, ‘The Last Journey to the sea’ are the well-known poet Angela Marcovici (Marinescu), Ana Ciontea, Cristina Juncu, Silviu Debu, Turkish actor Salih Yildirim, Alina Vior. Two of the actors on the cast, Ana Ciontea and Silviu Debu, spoke about their work with director Adi Voicu.


    Ana Ciontea:


    ”Being on the cast for ‘The Last Journey to the Sea’ was a very pleasant experience, for me, the screenplay really got me, even though Adi made lots of changes along the way. Adi was so very particular about details and that’s what also got me, from the very beginning. And, as we were rehearsing, that persuaded me it would be a very good movie. That’s what moved me and also helped me a lot.”


    Silviu Debu:


    ”The movie somehow depicts the world we live in. In a train compartment, six people meet, they are of various ages, religious persuasions and social categories. Unfortunately, for one of the characters, it really is the last journey. It somehow is a beautiful metaphor, covering the world we live in. That’s what I liked a lot about it, the fact that the film captures our world; furthermore, from the very first sessions we had with Adi Voicu I noticed he was a director who knew what he was doing, and that fuelled a great deal of confidence, so for me, it was an outright yes when I was asked if I accepted the part.”


    “Marie, Queen of Romania”, a film by Alexis Sweet Cahill, scooped the public’s award at the end of the 10th edition of the Les Film de Cannes a Bucarest Festival. Based on a true story, the film places Queen Marie center-stage and will be in theaters beginning November 8, 2019.

  • Filme româneşti, în programul Festivalului “Les Films de Cannes a Bucarest”

    Filme româneşti, în programul Festivalului “Les Films de Cannes a Bucarest”

    Cea de-a 10-a ediție a festivalului Les Films de
    Cannes à Bucarest a adus, pe lângă cele mai așteptate filme din selecția Festivalului
    de Film de la Cannes, premiere şi avanpremiere românești, întâlniri cu
    realizatorii filmelor şi masterclass-uri. Opt filme româneşti au avut avanpremiere
    de gală, în prezenţa echipelor, în cadrul festivalului Les Films de Cannes a
    Bucarest. Laureat al unui Palme d´Or pentru Cel mai bun scurtmetraj (‘Trafic’)
    şi al Premiului Special al Juriului Un Certain Regard (pentru cea mai bună
    actriţă, Dorotheea Petre, în ‘Cum mi-am petrecut sfârşitul lumii’), Cătălin
    Mitulescu revine pe marele ecran cu noua sa peliculă, ‘Heidi’, prezentă recent
    în competiţia Festivalului de la Sarajevo.

    Documentarul ‘Omul care a vrut să
    fie liber’, regia Mihai Mincan şi George Chiper-Lillemark, spune povestea unui
    tânăr rebel care a hotărât să trăiască liber în anii comunismului într-o ţară
    măcinată de sărăcie şi teroare. ‘Jurnalul familiei Escu’, de Şerban Georgescu,
    propune, tot într-o formulă de documentar, o trecere intens personală de la
    întâmplările mici, individuale, la marile evenimente la care am luat parte cu
    toţii, în cei 100 de ani de la Unire încoace. ‘Ivana cea Groaznică’, film
    inclus în secţiunea Cineasti del presente a Festivalului de la Locarno, unde a
    obţinut Premiul Special al Juriului, este o istorie neconvenţională despre
    oameni şi locuri, despre apartenenţă şi dor, spusă cu umor şi tandreţe.

    Familia
    și prietenii sunt invitați să aducă pe ecran propriile emoții și să se
    interpreteze pe ei înșiși într-o poveste cinematografică despre o femeie care
    nu își poate găsi locul pe niciunul dintre cele două maluri ale Dunării. Ivana
    Mladenović, regizoare, coscenaristă şi interpretă în ‘Ivana cea Groaznică’.Anteriorul meu film, Soldaţii,
    Poveste din Ferentari, este ecranizarea cărţii lui Adrian Schiop, pe care l-am
    ales să interpreteze rolul principal. În ‘Ivana cea Groaznică’ am ales să merg
    un pic mai departe, ecranizând propria mea experienţă, propria mea poveste,
    ficţionalizând-o, evident, dar alegând să-i pun pe prieteni şi pe cei din
    familia mea să interpreteze propriile roluri.

    Am ales această formulă care duce
    spre comedie şi care totodată te forţează să te expui pentru că mi se pare că
    de prea multe ori tindem să ne luăm în serios. ‘Ivana cea Groaznică’ a fost dificil de făcut pentru că a e un film
    care porneşte de la experienţa mea, de la lucruri care s-au întâmplat şi care
    nu au fost neapărat plăcute. Pe scurt, este vorba de un moment de criză care a
    avut loc acum doi ani, iar filmul vorbeşte şi despre sănătate, atât mintală cât
    şi corporală, despre relaţia între două ţări , despre o fată care a ales să
    plece în România şi s-a întors în Serbia, despre ciocnici între generaţii. Nu e
    simplu să faci un film despre aceste lucruri, nu este uşor să le pui într-un film.

    Actorul Vlad Ivanov şi
    regizorul Adi Voicu, doi dintre reprezentanţii României la Cannes anul acesta,
    au fost prezenţi la mai multe ediţii Les Films de Cannes din ţară. Regizorul
    Adi Voicu a mers la Cluj, Braşov şi Suceava cu scurtmetrajul Ultimul drum spre
    mare, inclus în acest an în selecţia secţiunii La Semaine de la Critique.Ultimul drum spre mare
    este al doilea film de scurtmetraj ficțiune din cariera regizorului Adi Voicu,
    după Ceața, premiat la Angers si la Sankt Petersburg. Actiunea filmului se petrece într-un
    compartiment al unui tren care merge spre litoral. Cei șase pasageri fac
    conversație, dar la un moment dat o suspiciune face ca lucrurile să scape de
    sub control.


    Distribuția scurtmetrajului
    Ultimul drum spre mare
    este alcătuită din cunoscuta poetă Angela Marcovici (Marinescu), Ana Ciontea,
    Cristina Juncu, Silviu Debu, actorul turc Salih Yildirim, Alina Vior. Doi dintre actorii pe care îi reîntâlnim în Ultimul
    drum spre mare, Ana Ciontea şi Silviu Debu, ne-au vorbit despre colaborarea lor cu
    regizorul Adi Voicu. Ana Ciontea: «A fost o experiență
    foarte plăcută să joc în Ultimul drum spre mare, m-a cucerit imediat
    scenariul, deşi pe parcurs Adi a făcut multe modificări. Tot de
    la început m-a cucerit și atenția lui Adi pentru detalii. Și repetițiile m-au
    convins că va fi un film foarte bun. Și, foarte important, m-a ajutat mult că
    Adi Voicu ne-a dat nouă, actorilor, încredere. Asta m-a mișcat și ajutat foarte
    mult.


    Silviu
    Debu: Filmul prezintă
    cumva lumea în care trăim. Într-un compartiment de tren se întâlnesc şase
    persoane de vârste, religii şi categorii sociale diferite. Din păcate, pentru
    unul dintre personaje este chiar ultimul drum. Cumva este o metaforă frumoasă care acoperă
    lumea în care trăim. Asta mi-a plăcut foarte mult, că filmul rezumă lumea
    noastră, în plus, am observat de la primele întâlniri că Adi Voicu este un
    regizor care ştie ce vrea şi asta mi-a dat foarte multă încredere, aşa că am
    acceptat fără ezitare rolul.


    Filmul
    Maria, Regina Romaniei, de Alexis Sweet Cahill, a primit premiul
    publicului la finalul celei de-a zecea ediţii a festivalului Les Films de
    Cannes a Bucarest. Filmul, o poveste bazată pe fapte reale care are în prim plan
    figura Reginei Maria, va intra în cinematografe pe data de 8 noiembrie.

    Ambassade – Dans un communiqué rendu public à l’occasion de la Journée mondiale de la presse, le Ministère roumain des Affaires Etrangères a rendu hommage aux journalistes du monde entier qui, malgré la censure, les représailles et les manipulations, ont couru des risques et ont même sacrifié leur vie pour bien faire leur métier. L’occasion pour le Ministère roumain de réitérer l’importance des droits de l’homme et des libertés fondamentales et de réaffirmer que la liberté de la presse est le garant de toute démocratie fonctionnelle. Dans un message rendu public, l’ambassade américaine à Bucarest a affirmé que les récentes menaces à l’adresse des journalistes d’investigation de Roumanie contreviennent aux normes d’une société démocratique. L’ambassade de Washington en Roumanie se dit solidaire avec les journalistes roumains responsables et courageux qui résistent aux menaces et aux pressions. La liberté de la presse et l’indépendance de la justice sont des piliers fondamentaux de l’Alliance nord-atlantique, ont fait savoir les diplomates américains dans leur communiqué. Récemment, une journaliste qui menait une enquête sur des cas de plagiat au sein de l’Académie de police a été menacée. Le cas a attiré l’attention des autorités roumaines.

    Conférence – La
    démocratie européenne n’est pas en danger, pourtant elle se voit mettre de la
    pression et ceux qui font confiance à l’Europe devraient s’avérer plus
    audacieux dans cette période où l’Union se confronte à différents problèmes
    tels le Brexit, l’immigration ou encore le chômage. C’est ce qu’a déclaré le
    président roumain, Klaus Iohannis, vendredi, lors de la Conférence « The State
    of The Union/L’état de l’Union », organisée par l’Institut universitaire
    européen de Florence, en Italie. Selon M. Iohannis, pour redonner la confiance
    et l’optimisme aux Européens, il faudrait s’attaquer aux sources des problèmes
    et trouver des solutions locales et régionales. Vendredi encore, en marge de la
    même conférence, le chef de l’Etat roumain a eu une entrevue avec le premier
    ministre italien, Giuseppe Conte. L’occasion pour le leader roumain de
    souligner l’importance du prochain sommet des chefs d’Etat et de gouvernement
    qui aura lieu le 9 mai, à Sibiu. L’événement portera sur les priorités de l’UE
    pour les 5 années à venir et se donnera pour but d’identifier des solutions aux
    problèmes auxquels se confronte l’Union. Les deux responsables politiques ont
    également discuté d’un renforcement des relations économiques bilatérales. A l’heure
    où l’on parle, la valeur des échanges commerciaux bilatéraux est la plus élevée
    des dix dernières années.


    Défense – Quatre avions de combat Eurofighter Typhoon des Forces aériennes italiennes sont atterris vendredi, sur la base de Mihail Kogalniceanu, dans le sud-est de la Roumanie, pour participer à des missions de police aérienne renforcée, a annoncé le Ministère roumain de la Défense. Selon cette source, presque 130 militaires, pilotes et personnel technique des forces aériennes italiennes, appuyés par des avions Eurofighter Typhoon seront déployés pour 4 mois en Roumanie, pour participer aux côtés des militaires roumains et de leurs avions de combat MiG-21 LanceR à des missions de police de l’air sous commande otanienne. L’exercice contribue à renforcer la capacité de réaction et l’interopérabilité des forces aériennes roumaines et italiennes.



    COMPET – Le ministre roumain de l’économie, Niculae Bădălău, a présidé vendredi le conseil informel Compétitivité (COMPET), la section Marché intérieur et Industrie, qui a eu lieu à Bucarest. Selon le responsable roumain, les débats ont porté principalement sur trois sujets : les PME, le marché unique et l’industrie énergo-intensive. La commissaire au marché intérieur, à l’industrie, à l’entrepreneuriat et aux PME, Elzbieta Bienkowska a déclaré que les participants ont examiné des modalités pour faciliter l’accès au marché et pour encourager l’esprit entrepreneurial au sein de l’UE. La réunion de Bucarest a réuni les ministres responsables de l’économie, l’industrie, le marché intérieur et les PME des 28 Etats membres de l’Union européenne et leurs homologues de Norvège et de Suisse, deux Etats membres de l’Association européenne du libre-échange.



    Brexit
    – Le ministre roumain délégué aux Affaires européennes, George Ciamba, a
    rencontré vendredi, à Paris, le ministre d’Etat du Royaume-Uni, en charge du
    Brexit, Lord Callanan, en marge d’une réunion informelle sur la préservation du
    patrimoine culturel européen. Le Ministère roumain des Affaires étrangères a
    affirmé que les deux officiels ont discuté, entre autres, des droits des
    ressortissants roumains de Grande Bretagne après la sortie de celle-ci de l’UE.

    Cannes – Le cinéaste roumain, Catalin Mitulescu, fera partie du jury des Courts Métrages et de la Cinéfondation de la 72ème édition du Festival de Cannes, ont fait savoir vendredi les organisateurs dans une annonce parue sur le site officiel de l’événement. Ce sera donc à ce jury de désigner d’une part, le meilleur court métrage parmi les onze inscrits dans la compétition officielle et de l’autre, de décider les trois prix accordés dans la section Cinéfondation qui réunit, cette année, 17 films signés par des étudiants en cinématographie. Catalin Mitulescu a remporté, en 2004, la Palme d’or du meilleur court métrage pour son film « Traffic ». Deux années plus tard, son premier long métrage « Comment j’ai passé la fin du monde » a été sélectionné dans la section Un certain Regard et récompensé du prix de la meilleure interprétation féminine.



    Météo – En Roumanie, il fera chaud dans le sud et le sud-est du pays, tandis que dans le reste du territoire, les températures maximales approcheront les normales saisonnières. Le ciel sera plutôt couvert dans le nord et le nord-est où l’on attend des pluies et même de la grêle. Les températures minimales iront de 4 à 14 degrés et celles maximales de 17 à 27 degrés.
