Program Note
Without Cristian Mungiu of [4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days], this legendary omnibus film hasn’t come out into the world. Five directors including Mungiu dramatize their unique personal experiences from the end part of the Ceausescu administration with a view from ordinary people.
As the title implies, the retrospective sense of humor pervades the entire film and the episodes being delivered with the sense of humor are sometimes comic, strange, surprising, and surreal. So, if you expect a bitterly keen realistic approach like [4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days], this will be a little frustrating like was for audiences at Cannes this year. But if we remember the fact that the primary virtue of Romanians who endured the repressive period as with a sense of humor, the frustration will be easily excused. Or, I presume that this film might be a typical trend within Romanian film.
Director

Cristian MUNGIU
One of the forerunners of Romanian cinema today, Cristian Mungiu was born in Iasi, Romania and was a student of English literature at the University of Iasi before studying film directing at the University of Film in Bucharest. He has worked as a teacher, journalist, and assistant director on international films that shot in Romania. His filmography includes [Occident] (2002) and the [Turkey Girl] segment of [Lost and Found] (2005). His Palme d’Or winning film, [4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days] illustrates the absurdity of the communist-era Securitate in Bucharest.

Constantin POPESCU
Born in Romania, Popescu’s short films include [Water] (2007) and [Smiling Yellow Face] (2008).
Ioana URICARU
Romanian-born Ioana URICARU produced the short film [The Sun and the Moon] in 2007.
Razvan MARCULESCU
Born in Romania, he wrote and produced short films [Cristi and Vera] (1997), and [Bus] (1998).
Hanno HÖFER
Born in Timisoara, Romania, he has directed the short films [Dincolo/On the Other Side] (1999), and [Humanitarian Aid] (2002).
