A car, a taxi, two vans and a motorcycle: the world is set in motion. City, town or countryside... everybody seems to be engaged in some sort of quest, looking for a hotel, a temporary shelter, a parking space, an electric cable, and - why not? - a poet willing to lend his talents to a cause which requires urgent action. Eastern European humour always travelled well, as demonstrated by our light-hearted shorts session.
Two characters, one taxi, a crisis and a compromise.
Radu Jude
Born in 1977 and having finished his film studies in 2003, Radu Jude is already one of Romania's most internationally awarded directors of short films. His Tube with a Hat, screened in our last year's programme, won a number of awards among which was the Best Short-film in Sundance 2007. Jude worked as an assistant director for Amen by Costa Gavras and The Death of Mr Lazarescu by Cristi Puiu, and is currently in pre-production with his first feature film The Happiest Girl in the World, for which he was awarded the Sundance/NHK International Filmmaker Award at the Sundance Film Festival this January.
