Romanian Cinema: The Golden AgeNov. 29-Dec. 2, 2007Admission: $10 Tribeca Cinemas 54 Varick Street 212-941-2001 tribecacinemas.com The second edition of the Romanian Film Festival in New York, Romanian Cinema: The Golden Age, will take place at Tribeca Cinemas from November 29 to December 2. It will showcase the Romanian premieres of 2007 (among which the two major winners at Cannes Film Festival), documentary films, shorts by upcoming filmmakers and some classics of the Romanian cinema. The screenings will be followed by Q&A with the film directors and actors and will be introduced by Romanian and American film critics. The festival is an initiative of Romanian Cultural Institute in New York in collaboration with Transilvania International Film Festival and Tribeca Film Festival. Why “The Golden Age”? Even in the worst of times of the communist regime in Romania, the propaganda insisted on proclaiming Ceauşescu’s dictatorship years “The Golden Age”. The new wave of Romanian cinema is very much concerned with this recent past, with the historical accident an entire nation had lived through for half a century. The Golden Age left a deep scar, and now it’s the time to talk about the real gold in it. Furthermore, the Romanian cinema is going through its own, authentic Golden Age, this being the first time it receives such a widespread attention. The 2nd Annual Romanian Film Festival will showcase the fiilms that have created the boundaries and the films that have completely shattered them.
