The Lighthouse, starring Robert Pattison and Willem Defoe \u2013 screened once more at the public\u2019s demand<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The second weekend of Les Films de Cannes \u00e0 Bucarest<\/em> sets up busy days full of workshops and film screenings, among which over 10 award-winning films from significant film festivals \u2013 both film premieres to screen exclusively at Les Films de Cannes \u00e0 Bucares<\/em>t, and reruns of the most acclaimed films that have already been screened. At the public\u2019s demand, there will be an additional screening of The Lighthouse<\/em>, starring Robert Pattison and Willem Defoe.<\/p>\n

On Friday, 25th<\/sup> October<\/strong>, the public will be able to see films by Xavier Dolan, Michael Haneke, Jim Jarmusch, Marco Bellocchio, Bruno Dumont, Arnaud Desplechin or C\u00e9line Sciamma – as well as a selection of short films made by former students of the film school La F\u00e9mis<\/em> in France. The films will be introduced by Julie Tingaud, Director of Professional Development and Education, at La F\u00e9mis<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Starting 16:30, at Elvire Popesco Cinema, the workshop How to read a screenplay? <\/em>is on, during which Cristian Mungiu, as well as the public, will start a dialogue with Jacques Akchoti, screenwriting and directing professor at La F\u00e9mis <\/em>and with Nicolas Livecchi, professional film and television screenplay lecturer for Why Not Productions<\/em> (France).\u00a0 The dialogue centres itself around a paramount question for the film industry, fir for all times and spaces: who are the ones who reads the screenplays and deem them apt for financing, whether one talks about public institutions or private companies? What is their education and what should the screenplays be like? Entrance is free of admission, subjected to availability.<\/p>\n

Friday<\/strong> also holds in store a public encounter with Radu Muntean and Alex Baciu with the occasion of The Paper Will Be Blue<\/em>, in the Romania. 30 years later <\/em>section.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, 26th<\/sup> October<\/strong>, the public is welcome to watch the two films that won the Jury Prize ex-aequo at Cannes this year, both of them in the presence of their respective filmmakers. At PRO Cinema, starting 18:00, Juliano Dornelles<\/strong> will introduce Bacurau<\/em> and will stay for a discussion with the public, and starting 20:00, at Elvire Popesco Cinema, Ladj Ly <\/strong>will be present at the big-screen premiere of his film \u2013 Les Miserables<\/em>.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, there will also be the Golden Day of Les Films de Cannes \u00e0 Bucarest<\/em>, presented, as always, by Renault, during which the public is invited to watch three Palme d\u2019Or, Ours d\u2019Or and Camera d\u2019Or films from this year\u2019s competitions.<\/p>\n

Starting 12:00, the Berlin Golden Bear<\/strong>-awarded film, Synonymes<\/em>, directed by Nadav Lapid, is scheduled into the day\u2019s program. Synonymes<\/em> tells the story of Yoav, a young Israeli, who arrives in Paris with the hope of having France and the French language save him from the madness in his country.\u00a0 While the New Yorker<\/em> writes that \u201cLapid delivers a deeply personal rant in the form of a wild and reckless drama\u201d, the Hollywood Reporter <\/em>describes the film as \u201cintense, feverish, unhinged, deranged, digressive, implacable, impressive\u201d. The praising goes on with Indiewire<\/em>, which deems Synonymes<\/em> as \u201castonishing, maddening, brilliant, hilarious, obstinate, and altogether unmissable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Camera d\u2019Or<\/strong> goes to the best premier film in all Cannes sections. This year, it is Nuestras Madres<\/em>, directed by C\u00e9sar Diaz, who was awarded this prize, along with the SACD Prize<\/em> in the Semaine de la Critique<\/em> section. At Cannes, Screen International <\/em>described it as \u201can appealingly dignified, humane story of the repercussions of the little-known civil war in Guatemala in the 1980s as borne by the country’s women\u201d. The screening will take place at Elvire Popesco Cinema, starting 15:00.<\/p>\n

The golden film series ends at 17:00, with the winner of this year\u2019s Palme d\u2019Or<\/strong> – Parasite<\/em>, directed by Bong Joon-ho, \u201cthe masterpiece towards which the auteur\u2019s entire career led to\u201d. The film has been recently released in France and has gathered almost 2 million spectators, making it the highest-grossing film in history to ever win a Palme d\u2019Or. A third screening of Parasite will take place on Sunday, 27th<\/sup> October, at the Auditorium Hall, at the Romanian National Museum of Art.<\/p>\n

At the Q&A session following the screening on 20th<\/sup> October, Bong Joon-ho talked about the way in which he had to build up the film\u2019s entire set design, from the modern house and the garden of the rich family, to the house of the poor folks and its surroundings, all located in a huge pool which he later flooded. \u201cJust as water cannot flow upwards, the poor in my film succumb deeper and deeper and their social ascension aspirations are doomed to fail.\u201d The dissolution of the family, initially united and happy, despite the poverty, is reflected by the communication crisis, which stems from text messaging, the wild<\/em> Morse code.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, 27th<\/sup> October<\/strong>, the public will be able to watch, in premiere, Chicuarotes<\/em>, by Gael Garcia Bernal, and Frankie<\/em>, staring Isabelle Hupert and Marisa Tomei; however, the public will be first invited at Peasant Museum Cinema, starting 15:30, to watch the one-minute long short films made by the young people who joined the Une minute de vie, une minute de cinema<\/em> programme, which took place in six high schools in Bucharest, seen to by six filmmakers.<\/p>\n

The winning films will be awarded during the ending ceremony of the festival, which will take place on Sunday night, starting 20:30, at PRO Cinema \u2013 when there will also a presentation of the awards for the best Romanian films under the Work in progress <\/em>and Autumn Preview <\/em>sections, as well as of the awards for the winners of the Filmminute<\/em> and Write a screenplay for<\/em> sections.<\/p>\n
