The audience will also have the chance to see the two films that won the Jury Prize. The first is Sound of Falling<\/strong>, a German film that follows the destinies of four women from four different generations connected to an isolated farm in Germany. Directed by Mascha Schilinski, the film leaves an almost palpable sensation of a century of personal video recordings, filmed as if by family ghosts, interconnecting four generations of young women in time as they live, die and imprint their memories on the walls of the house they live in. Sound of Falling<\/strong>, the German director\u2019s second feature film, \u201cfloats through the decades like a lost idea hoping to find someone who will recognize it\u201d (IndieWire), as the time cursor advances and returns without warning on the temporal axis.<\/p>\nThe second film to win the Jury Prize is Sir\u0101t<\/strong>, directed by Oliver Laxe, a film about a journey in search of a lost daughter, which subtly transforms into an incursion into the inner world of the characters, a meditation on loss and pain. Oliver Laxe prints the film’s title almost like a texture into the story (sir\u0101t means road, direction), filming most of the route in the Sahara, in a fabulous landscape, isolated from the world, and in an almost surreal atmosphere.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/mask><\/g><\/g><\/filter><\/defs><\/svg><\/div>Sound of Falling<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Secret Agent<\/strong> is a Brazilian political thriller directed by Kleber Mendon\u00e7a Filho, starring Wagner Moura. The film won the Best Actor and Best Director awards at the Croisette. The Secret Agent<\/strong> is considered by critics to be a masterpiece, thanks to the subtle interpretation of the actor Wagner Moura, the authentic atmosphere of Recife in 1977 and the unique combination of thriller and comedy. The film, also premiering in Romania, follows the story of Marcelo, a university professor who tries to flee the military regime in Brazil in the late 1970s, assuming a new identity while hiding from the authorities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/mask><\/g><\/g><\/filter><\/defs><\/svg><\/div>The Secret Agent<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
La petite derni\u00e8re<\/strong>, a French-German co-production directed by Hafsia Herzi, centers on 17-year-old Fatima. The youngest of the family cautiously finds her way in life, grappling with unexpected desires: her attraction to women and her loyalty to her caring family. Starting university in Paris, she dates, makes friends and explores a whole new world, all while facing an eternal and painful dilemma: how can one remain true to oneself when it seems impossible to reconcile different parts of one’s identity? Nadia Melitti, who plays Fatima, was rewarded for this role with the award for best actress.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/mask><\/g><\/g><\/filter><\/defs><\/svg><\/div>La Petite Dernie\u0300re<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Nouvelle Vague<\/strong>, directed by Richard Linklater, is a love letter to French cinema. Focusing on the recreation of Jean-Luc Godard\u2019s masterpiece \u00c0 bout de souffle, the film is a tribute to the revolutionary French film movement of the late 1950s and early 1960s, which was notable for its experimentation with new cinematic ideas, but also for its rebellion against the establishment. Nouvelle Vague<\/strong> shows the young Godard and his collaborators in 1959 Paris as they make a creative and innovative film.<\/p>\nFor the 16th edition of Les Films de Cannes \u00e0 Bucarest, the festival poster is inspired by Richard Linklater\u2019s film, while maintaining its personal style, which has become recognizable over the years. The entire graphic composition marks a connection between the youthful spirit of the festival and the unique energy of the French New Wave, so influential in the world of film. At the same time, it is a tribute that the festival brings to the iconic couple played over 60 years ago by Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg, and this year by Zoey Deutch and Aubry Dullin, in Nouvelle Vague<\/strong>.<\/p>\nThe complete program of the 16th edition of Les Films de Cannes \u00e0 Bucarest, additional information about films, related events and guests, will soon be available on the festival’s official website, filmedefestival.ro, and on the Facebook and Instagram pages. Tickets will go on sale through the Eventbook network in the first part of October.<\/p>\n
