Romanian cinema at 58th San Sebastian Festival will be represented by Principles of Life (Principii de viață). Constantin Popescu's sophomore feature has been selected to compete in the Zabaltegi-New Directors Section. The film examines the rapport between father and son, and in a nutshell is about the generation gaps and the inability to communicate. Emilian Velicanu, 43, considers his life positively full: he has money, a new villa, he is married for the second time to a young woman with whom he has a baby and has a son from his first marriage. Before the holidays arrive, he makes plans to leave his business on autopilot during his time off, but complications ensue, and this end of the day crisis makes him wonder if he's really happy and fulfilled. The screenplay for Principles of Life has had a story of its own. It failed to win at a previous edition...

They say you're never to old to learn a new trick, as is the case for Ozana Oancea. A graduate from The National University of Theater and Cinematography I.L. Caragiale back in 1991, Oancea waited a long time before taking on her first on screen role. First of all, Felicia is the helming debut from co-directors Razvan Radulescu and Melissa de Raaf and judging from her response in this interview, I'd say she's now got the "on screen" acting bug. - They say you're never to old to learn a new trick, as is the case for Ozana Oancea.

Tell flies by whenever she does visit them, and just about the time she is getting ready to take her return flight at the airport, her sister, Iulia, who promised she would drive her, could no longer deliver as promised. Ozana takes a taxi; reaches the airport,...

First uncomfortable clip from mother/daughter drama First Of All, Felicia (Felicia inainte de toate)
There may not be a whole lot of action in this, the first clip from First of All, Felicia ("Felicia inainte de toate"), but it’s an amazingly effective three minutes which boil the film to a fine point.
Co-written and directed by noted Romanian “new wave” screenwriter Razvan Radulescu (the man behind the pen for The Death of Mister Lazarescu and Summer Holiday) and Dutch new comer Melissa de Raaf, First of All, Felicia is the intimate story of a woman and her mother spending the afternoon together at an airport, an afternoon that is bound to end in tears.
Forty year old Felicia lives with her son in Amsterdam. While he is away at summer school, Felicia takes the opportunity to visit her parents and sister in Romania. On the day of her flight home after a two week stay, her sister Iulia can’t take her to...

Thessaloniki has so much to offer and between meetings and screenings, plus my current work with the Berlinale's European Film Market, there is little time to explore the environs, like, Mount Olympus and the newly excavated perfectly preserved gravesite of Philip, the father Alexander the Great and Alexander's son Alexander IV, killed before reaching the age to become king. Truly and literally classic!
Thessaloniki is situated between east (as in The Byzantine) and west Europe, at the edge of the Balkans. Aside from the market itself called Agora and organized by Margarita Eliopoulou, three sections are designed to take advantage of its geographically unique location: the Balkans, South Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean.
• Salonica Studio/ Four Corners, the Tiff Student Workshop - My partner Peter Belsito is busy coaching the Thessaloniki film school students in pitching and entering the world('s) markets. Thessaloniki has the largest student population in Greece.
