Congratulations to Romanian filmmaker (although I think we can call him an auteur now) Corneliu Porumboiu for winning the 'Un Certain Talent' award at Cannes 2015 for his upcoming feature The Treasure/ Comoara (2015). Porumboiu is known for his brilliant contributions to the slow-cinema style and his wry humour. Other titles directed by him are 12:08 East of Bucharest/ A fost sau n-a fost? (2006) and Police, Adjective/ Polițist, Adjectiv (2009).
Eastern European cinema is a diverse subject that has been scarcely regarded, especially compared to other world cinemas. From screen analysis to personal accounts, this blog is a meditation on Eastern European cultural values with emphasis on totalitarian iconography and other clandestine ciphers that have become motifs across the films of Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Poland, Russia, Czech Republic and East Germany.
