THE BOXING LESSON, HOME, THURSDAY, SANDPIT #186
A boxing lesson, a taxi ride, a short fling, an unexpected visit and a resurrected dog - each, in its own way, a survival lesson collected in the weightier and more reflection-inviting shorts session of our programme. Fresh and gripping, or cameral and contemplative, they all capture significant individual mutations, often in an absorbing cinematic language.
One show, one man and his dog (well, sort of).
Marius Olteanu
A graduate of the National Film School in Bucharest, Olteanu relocated to the UK to complete an MA in Fiction Direction at the National Film and Television School, where he benefited from the support of the Ratiu Foundation. A keen photographer, Olteanu has recently had two personal photo exhibitions in Belgium. His interest in music, theatricality and the surreal in film is best expressed by Reality Won't Bite, his graduation film, here screened courtesy of NFTS.
