New Romanian Shorts

Romanian cinema has undergone a renaissance in recent years – witness 2007 Cannes winner 4 MONTHS, 3 WEEKS, 2 DAYS and acclaimed releases such as THE DEATH OF MR LAZARESCU, 12:08 EAST OF BUCHAREST and CALIFORNIA DREAMIN’. Proving that these were not isolated successes and that the industry has plenty of new talent breaking through, Romanian films picked up the best short film awards at both this year’s Berlin Film Festival (A GOOD DAY FOR A SWIM) and Cannes (MEGATRON).
