The only Romanian director of a feature film in the 2018 edition of the Cannes Film Festival was Marta Bergman, born in Romania, who was selected in the ACID section with Seule \u00e0 mon mariage<\/em><\/strong>, a Belgian feature filmed partly in Romania, with actress Alina \u015eerban in the lead role.<\/p>\n

Born in Bucharest, Marta Bergman\u2019s family moved to Belgium when she was a child. After completing her studies at the Brussels \u201cInstitut Sup\u00e9rieur des Arts\u201d, she returned to Romania with a friend \u2014 Stephane Karo, who became the manager of the Clejani music band \u2014 whom she accompanied on a documentation field trip about Gypsy music. That trip led to her first documentary, Clejani<\/em> (2005), which was to be followed by another two, also centered on Roma characters. The latter of these, Un jour mon the princess viendra<\/em>, the story of three girls looking for western husbands, is the one that triggered the idea of the script for the Bergman\u2019s first fiction film. Seule \u00e0 mon mariage<\/em><\/strong> is \u201cthe story of the emancipation of a young Roma woman, a woman in search of freedom,\u201d the director said in an interview for Cineuropa<\/em>. The protagonist is Alina \u015eerban, the young Romanian actress of Roma ethnic origin, whom the director gave her the role on the spot after seeing hear act in a play. The Clejani band resurfaces in this film, with the music signed by Vlaicu Golcea and interpreted by violinist Caliu, one of the eminent members of the band.<\/p>\n

Seule \u00e0 mon mariage<\/em><\/strong> will be screened on Saturday, October 27 at 19:30 in the Peasant\u2019s Museum Cinema, in the presence of Marta Bergman and Alina \u015eerban. Alone at My Wedding \/ Seule \u00e0 mon mariage<\/em><\/strong> is the third collaborative work of Frakas Productions and Hi Film Productions (Ada Solomon), is distributed in Romania by microFILM and will be shown in cinemas starting November 2.<\/p>\n

Born in Marseilles, Jean-Bernard Marlin<\/strong> studied cinematography at ENS Louis Lumi\u00e8re<\/em> in Paris. Sh\u00e9h\u00e9razade<\/em><\/strong>, his debut feature, is born out of a newspaper article: the love story of a pimp and a young prostitute in a poor area of Marseilles. The director wanted from the very beginning to shoot in actual locations and cast non-professionals resembling the characters that inspired the story. After a period of documenting the streets of Marseilles, the screenplay was written, followed by eight months of intense casting in schools and social centers. \u201cWe have seen almost all young people in Marseilles, from all neighborhoods,\u201d the director said in an interview in Cannes. Dylan Robert, the lead actor, was discovered by the director among a group of youths recently freed from prison, while Kenza Fortas, the main actress, was discovered in a Roma camp.<\/p>\n

The director rewrote the dialogues with the two actors before shooting, and the result is \u201can impeccable sample of cinema-verit\u00e9,\u201d according to Cineuropa<\/em> \u2014 a dynamic and moving story. In Cannes, surrounded by the press and the public, the protagonists intensely lived the most surprising experience of their lives, as Dylan received permission from the social center where he was consigned to attend the festival, while Kenza brought her whole family and friends to see her stepping on the red carpet. For the two, filming and participating in the festival were undoubtedly an experience with the potential to change their destinies \u2014 a wish that the film seems to propose.<\/p>\n

Sh\u00e9h\u00e9razade<\/em><\/strong> will be screened at Cinema Elvire Popesco on Friday, October 19, at 17:30, in the presence of the director, followed by a Q&A session.<\/p>\n

One year ago, the film festival world was taken by surprise by the emergence of a little-known Hungarian director, Ildik\u00f3 Enyedi<\/em><\/strong>, who reaped the Berlin Golden Bear<\/em> for On Body and Soul<\/em>. Zs\u00f3fia Szil\u00e1gyi<\/em><\/strong>, Enyedi\u2019s assistant to On Body and Soul<\/em>, picked on that and aimed high, ending up by having her first feature \u2014 One Day<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 selected this year in Cannes in the Semaine de la Critique<\/em> section.<\/p>\n

One Day<\/em><\/strong> started from a friend\u2019s letters, detailing her experience as a mother of young children. This \u201cmatrimonial thriller,\u201d as the director calls her film, tells of a day in the life of a woman who juggles, in a counter-clock-like race, her roles of mother, woman, professional and wife. The film won the FIPRESCI Critics Award for the best film in its section.<\/p>\n

One Day<\/em><\/strong> will be shown at 20:30 at Cinema Elvire Popesco on Saturday, October 20th<\/sup>. The director will be in attendance and will answer questions from the audience after the show.<\/p>\n

The fourth film based on real events, whose director will be present at the festival, is Les Confins du Monde<\/em><\/strong> by Guillaume Nicloux<\/strong>, which will screen at Cinema Elvire Popesco on Wednesday 24 October at 8pm.<\/p>\n

French director and writer Guillaume Nicloux<\/strong> joined film world at 22 years of age, with the short film La Piste aux \u00e9toiles<\/em>, filmed in 16mm black and white by Raoul Coutard, Jean-Luc Godard\u2019s director of photography. The collaboration between the two continued throughout the director\u2019s following three films, with Nicloux going on to build a dense and unique \u0153uvre which explores a large array of genres, from experimental film to a noir<\/em> trilogy, comedy, political film, or drama. His 16th<\/sup> film, Les Confins du Monde<\/em><\/strong> premiered at Cannes in Quinzaine des R\u00e9alisateurs<\/em> and was born from the collaboration and friendship of the director with cinematographer Raoul Coutard who, after spending 11 years as a war photographer in Vietnam, developed a true passion for the culture and the people of the place, and shared his experiences with the director. Filmed for seven weeks in the difficult climate of northern Vietnam, Les Confins du Monde<\/em><\/strong> tells the story of a young French soldier who seeks revenge for the loss of his brother.<\/p>\n

All the films are shown in original version, with Romanian subtitles. Films also subtitled in other languages will be listed on the festival\u2019s site and catalogue.<\/p>\n
