Dear friends and supporters of Making Waves,
The Romanian Film Initiative and the Jacob Burns Film Center are pleased to announce the lineup of the 11th edition of Making Waves: New Romanian Cinema, which will run from December 1-8, 2016 exclusively at the Jacob Burns Film Center.
New Romanian Cinema entered its second decade of greatness with a bang. With two titles selected from the official competition in Cannes, Graduation and Sieranevada, which both went on to play at the New York Film Festival, and two others, Illegitimate and Scarred Hearts, that won prizes at the Berlin and Locarno film festivals, we enter the 11th edition of Making Waves with one of the strongest ever presentations of work by both new and established Romanian filmmakers. Directors Cristian Mungiu, Cristi Puiu, Adrian Sitaru and Radu Jude, who have all shown previous works at the Festival, are joined by the new voices of Bogdan Mirică and Paul Negoescu, delivering standout genre cinema with the Balkan western Dogs and the indie comedy Two Lottery Tickets.
The endearing documentary Cinema, Mon Amour by Alexandru Belc, about the vanishing movie theaters completes this year’s Romanian selection, while Tomasz Wasilewski’s United States of Love represents this year’s guest country Poland adding a touch of post-Communist angst that reflects the Romanian reality in the aftermath of the Revolution of 1989.
