Les Films de Cannes \u00e0 Bucarest, <\/strong>the festival that has been bringing to Bucharest the most important art-house films of the year, along with the most renowned cineastes, since 2010, will be taking place again this year, between October 13th<\/sup> – 22nd<\/sup><\/strong>. The festival will be opening in four locations in Bucharest – Cinema PRO, Cinema Elvire Popesco, Cinema Muzeul \u021a\u0103ranului Rom\u00e2n <\/strong>and Cinemateca Eforie<\/strong>. Seven other cities will also be hosting the festival, with local editions to be held in: Timi\u0219oara<\/strong>, Ia\u0219i<\/strong>, Cluj<\/strong>, Bra\u0219ov<\/strong>, Sibiu<\/strong>, Arad<\/strong> and Suceava<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ruben \u00d6stlund\u2019s <\/strong>unusual comedy, The Square<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, <\/em>the masterpiece that has taken by surprise the \u201ccroisette\u201d at Cannes this year, ultimately receiving the Palme d\u2019Or<\/em>, will be opening the festival, premiering exclusively in Romania, in Bucharest, and in all other cities hosting local editions.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me it is a way of pushing through the double standard barriers. We are all affected by this – go with the flow \u2013 attitude, and we often get scared when things slip out of our control. We need a constant reminder: I am the only one who can and should make a stand! And it is so simple to do it.\u201d \u2013 said Ruben \u00d6stlund, shortly after winning the Palme d\u2019Or this year.<\/p>\n

Claes Bang<\/strong> plays Christian, the respected curator of a contemporary art museum, who lets things spiral out of control after all the Buzz created by the PR team he had personally hired to promote a show. The new installation \u201cThe Square\u201d<\/strong> turns out to be the setting for a cascade of unforeseeable events, that really transform the film into a full blown comedy, \u201csome gobsmackingly weird and outrageous spectacle, with moments of pure show stopping freakiness\u201d as depicted by The Guardian.<\/em><\/p>\n

The motion picture has been purchased for distribution in 80 other territories, and is definitely the masterpiece of a creative, straight forward film maker, who had already taken by surprise film critics and members of the press with \u201cForce majeure<\/em>\u201d, winner of Prix du Jury at Cannes in 2014.<\/p>\n

Les films de Cannes will also open across the country, in Bra\u0219ov<\/strong> (Cinema One) between 13 \u2013 19 of October<\/strong>, in Cluj<\/strong> (Cinema Victoria) between 13 – 15 of October<\/strong>, in Timi\u0219oara<\/strong> (Filarmonica Banatul),\u00a0Arad<\/strong> (Cinema Arta) and\u00a0Ia\u0219i<\/strong> (The Athenaeum) between 20 \u2013 22 October\u00a0<\/strong>and in\u00a0Suceava<\/strong>\u00a0(Cinema Modern) between 10 \u2013 12 November<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A special edition of the Les films de Cannes will also take place in partnership with ASTRA Sibiu Festival<\/strong>. Between the 16th<\/sup> and the 22nd<\/sup> of October<\/strong>, the two festivals will be screening a selection of documentaries that premiered at Cannes this year. The projections will be happening at the same time in Sibiu and Bucharest, under the name Les Films de Cannes @ Astra Film Sibiu<\/em>.<\/p>\n
